It is with profound sorrow to announce the passing of Betty (Crider) West on Dec. 31, 2025.
She was born on Nov. 27, 1933, to the late Samuel and Anna Crider of Vienna. She was the third eldest of 10 children.
Betty met her first husband and moved away in 1952. She lived in Texas and Idaho before settling in California where she and her husband raised their four children.
She was a wonderful mother, sister and friend who touched the lives of many with her kindness and generosity. Betty loved her family unconditionally and her passing will leave a void in their lives.
She enjoyed sewing and quilting, and was an avid baker with a talent for wedding cakes.
After more than 50 years away, Betty returned to Vienna to be near her brothers and sisters. She enjoyed retirement and small-town life for another 15 years. She then spent time with her three daughters in South Dakota, Nevada and Arizona before moving to live with her daughter Kami permanently. She spent her remaining years enjoying her great-grandchildren.
She was preceded death by parents, Samuel and Anna; sons, Thomas and Ray Beutler; son-in-law, Leonard Kadel; brothers, Norman, Leo and Harold Crider; and sisters, Georgia Hood, Katie Risse and Lois Crider.
Betty is survived by daughters, Lori Kadel, Kami Denett and husband Walt and Donna Eisele and husband Wayne; daughter-in-law, Candy Beutler; grandchildren, Erin, Andrew, Michael, Zachary, Courtney and Morgan; six great-grandchildren; and sisters, Shirley Huffman, Lucy Branson and Linda Crider.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, May 9, at Visitation Catholic Church in Vienna. Interment will be in Kenner Cemetery in Hayden.
