  Betty Jane Witt, devoted wife and loving mother died on November 28th, 2012, in Stillwater, Minnesota surrounded by her family. Betty Jane Collins was born on August 21, 1923, in Appleton, Wisconsin. Betty graduated from Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois in 1946, where she met and married Walter W. Witt Jr. After Betty and Wally graduated from Lake Forest College, Betty worked in Deerfield, Illinois as an elementary school teacher. Betty and Wally moved their young family to Appleton where they lived for more than 50 years. Betty was preceded in death by her parents Jessie and Thomas Collins, her brother Robert Collins, her sister Mary Lou Huber, her husband of 53 years, Wally and her son Bill. Betty is survived by daughters Deb (Ted) Roelofs, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Wendy (Brent) Johnson, Stillwater, Minnesota and Cindy (Robert) Ashmun, Minnetonka, Minnesota and grandchildren Matt and Kate Roelofs, Ben and Henry Johnson and Ford Ashmun, nieces and nephews. Betty can be best described by all who knew her as a person with a radiant smile, a very kind heart who cherished her family. She was fun loving, loved to laugh, loved unconditionally, forgave easily, never complained and taught us to see and appreciate beauty in nature and humankind. Betty taught us to celebrate life every day because it is precious and all too short. In lieu of flowers or memorials, think of Betty in a small gesture or act of kindness to brighten someone's day. A private family burial is planned. logo Published in Appleton Post-Crescent on December 2, 2012
