Betty Lucille Yeager, 93, of Brookville, passed away on Monday, July 11, 2022, at the Jefferson Manor in Brookville, PA.  She was born in Coolspring, PA, on November 16, 1928, to the late Edward Clair Fike and Lottie Gertrude (Stormer) Fike. On December 11, 1948, Betty married William Lorrain Yeager in Punxsutawney, PA, who preceded her in death in 2004. Bill was the love of her life. They enjoyed each other’s company, as well as the family and life they created together. She missed him dearly every day since his passing, waiting one day to finally be reunited with him. 

Betty was a dedicated member of the Stanton United Methodist Church in Stanton. She was also a former member of the Brookville VFW Post 102 and the Pine Creek VFD Ladies Auxiliary. Over the years, she worked at Sylvania, Brookville Hospital Cafeteria, and Rola Jensen.

She loved quilting, making over one-hundred quilts (pieced and quilted) by hand. For several years after the passing of her husband, she made many lap and baby quilts that she donated through the Bellview Charge to help families after losing their homes to fire or were sent on mission trips to help people all over the globe, on every continent but one. She enjoyed crocheting, knitting, reading, coloring, and playing bingo. Betty cherished baking and cooking for her family and friends, always making sure they were fed and taken care of.  She also liked gardening and planting flowers. Betty enjoyed listening to music, especially hymns and gospel music. Betty loved her family and cherished the time she spent with them. She was proud of all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren for what they have accomplished in life.
