Betty Feiten
October 18, 1936 — October 16, 2024
Betty Ann Feiten, age 87 of Eau Claire, passed away on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire. Betty was born on October 18, 1936 in Curtiss, WI, the 8
th
of 8 kids to the late Nels and Rose (Karsted) Fredrickson.
They lived in Curtiss until she was 10 and then the family moved to Spencer. In 1949, the family moved to Gilman. Betty graduated from Gilman High School in 1954. After graduating, she attended beauty school in Eau Claire. It was during this time that she met Dewayne R. Feiten. They would marry on November 12, 1955.
Dewayne along with family members, built their house on the north side of Eau Claire. Betty stayed at home to raise their 3 children, Diane, Douglas and Dixie.
Betty loved her family and all the times they spent together. She enjoyed gardening, both vegetable and floral, sewing, embroidering, baking (she was the best cook ever!). They spent many summers and weekends at Dewayne’s parent’s cabin on Lower Long Lake near New Auburn. Later in life, Betty and Dewayne started camping at Tag-a-Long Resort in Birchwood. It was there where she would meet many life long friends. She also enjoyed playing Farkle and Left, Right, Center with her family.
She had a very big heart of gold and was extremely generous to her friends and neighbors, sharing her famous breads and baked goods.
Betty is survived by her children: Diane (Dennis) Gehr of Drummond, Douglas (significant other Kim Droege) of Chetek and Dixie Feiten (significant other Lenny Morud) of Eau Claire; grandchildren: Derek Gehr, Dustin Gehr and Danielle Kvapil; great-grandchildren: Desmond Gehr and Deanna Gehr; brother Dale (Delores) Fredrickson; sister-in-law Sandy Fredrickson; special friend John Kvapil; and nieces, nephews other relatives and friends.
