Funeral Services were held Tuesday, March 17, 2020 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Long Prairie for Betty Hockemeyer who died Tuesday, March 10, 2020 at the Saint Cloud Hospital. Rev. Noah Wehrspann officiated. Burial was in Trinity Cemetery in Long Prairie.
Betty was born on June 7, 1952 in Long Prairie to Albert and Elsie (Tesch) Hockemeyer. Betty’s life was forever altered by a car accident. Though disabled, her positive attitude and beautiful personality allowed her to touch the lives those she encountered. Rather than focusing on the past she chose to focus on others. She loved to send people cards for every occasion. She made people feel special with her amazing ability to remember names as she genuinely expressed interest and concern. She was grateful for the care she received at the Prairie Community Services where she lived in Long Prairie.
Survivors include her sister-in-law, Mary Hockemeyer of Minneapolis, cousin and guardian Naomi Walrath of Long Prairie; Brian (Sandy) Hockemeyer and Karen (Scott) Tollefson as well as numerous cousins in Long Prairie and Iowa.
She is preceded in death by her parents; infant sister; brothers, Kenneth and Keith Hockemeyer.
