Burial was in the Plevna Community Cemetery. A family receiving friends service was held May 19, 2016, at Stevenson Funeral Home in Baker. Betty Ruth (Ehret) Buerkle was born Feb. 1, 1931, to John and Pauline (Graff) Ehret south of Plevna. During her early childhood, the family relo- cated to a farm north of Plevna where Betty attended the Coal Springs country school until the eighth grade. She then attended Plevna High School. November 13, 1949, she mar- ried Arthur Buerkle. They began married life on their farm eleven miles northwest of Plevna. To this union two children, Alvin and Eileen, were born. Betty was a farm wife in every sense of the word, being active both in the farming and ranching and in maintaining the home. Upon marriage, she became a member of the Congregational Church in Plevna. She belonged to Ladies Aid, taught Sunday School for over 20 years, and taught vaca- tion Bible school. She was also a member of the Fallon Creek Cowbelles. Art and Betty were avid Plevna Cougar fans, even more so after Alvin began coaching the Cougars. As a family, they enjoyed camping, hiking and fishing. In Feb. 1980 Art passed away, leaving Betty a young widow. She continued ranching even after moving into Plevna in the fall of 1981. She got her first job at Montana Central Agency working for Jim Leis- chner. In the mid 1980s, she re- tired and leased out the farm and began a new chapter of her life. In retirement she was able to travel. One of the highlights was a five -country farm tour of Eu- rope with her sister. She also visited Washington, D.C., Alaska, Phoenix and made nu- merous trips to Texas and Branson. It was said that next to family her car was her best friend! Traveling to see family was very im- portant to her, and she loved to visit her grandchildren. She was always volunteering to babysit, help pack and move family members or help with anything else family needed. She was very proud of the fact that all seven grandchildren graduated from college, some with doctor- ate or master degrees. The Plevna Senior Citizens, Pink Ladies, Plevna Pinochle Club, caring for her flowers and yard also kept her busy. Sept. 2012 Betty moved into the Parkview Complex in Baker. She truly enjoyed being sur- rounded by her friends. Unfor- tunately, due to failing health, in Aug. 2013 she moved into Fal- lon Medical Complex Long Term Care. Betty passed away peacefully May 16, 2016. She will be remembered for her warm smile, generous nature, and love for her family.
