BETTY LIGHTFOOT

Betty Rose Lightfoot, 93, our loving family Matriarch, finished her work here on earth when the Lord called her home on June 8.

She was born Betty Rose Weber, the eldest of seven children, on January 8, 1931, in Delmont.

In 1950, Betty married Curtis Lightfoot. Although newlyweds, she stepped up at the age of 19 to raise her 6-year-old sister, Kathy. Two children were born, Douglas and Diane. They packed up and moved their family to California in 1957 so Curt could pursue his goal of becoming a pro golfer.

Betty became a specialist for the Inland Empire gas company for three decades. She and her husband were co-owners of Diamond Bar Auto Parts. Her husband, Curt, passed away in 2011.

Betty had beautiful vocal skills singing in the First Baptist Church of Claremont Choir. She also served the Lord as a board member and deacon and had a gift for hospitality, always helping, cooking, and visiting the sick. Most recently, she attended Refuge Church and the services held at Compass Rose by Calvary Chapel.

Betty lived in Rancho Del Bordo Estates and was a member of the Elks Club. In 2022, she developed memory loss, and her daughter assisted her until she moved into The Oaks of Paso Robles Compass Rose in 2024.

She was a wonderful, loving person and the rock of our family. She will be greatly missed by her daughter, Diane (Randy); grandchildren: Ryan (Janeta), Tisha (Nick), Joseph (Ginny), and Jennifer; daughter-in-law Debbie; great-grandchildren: Allie, Ben, Emi, and Mila; sisters Joyce and Kathy; brother Don; 11 very loved nieces; nine very loved nephews; numerous friends, and cousins. She especially loved her dog, Zoie.

Upon her leaving this earth, we know she heard the words from our Lord: “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
