Betty Norby was born on May 28,1925 to Margaret and Joe Renders in Fairview, Mt. She arrived two days after Margaret's long train ride from Iowa to join Joe. Betty was the first of 5 children. Betty went to a one room country school through the 8th grade and graduated from Fairview High School in 1943. Betty was married to Russell Danielson and they were blessed with sons Terry and Charlie and daughter Margaret. In April 1967 she married Ralph Norby and Lisa joined the family. Betty was widely known for her homemade bread, buns, rolls, cookies, pies and family dinners. In addition to being a very proud Irish lady; after her marriage to Ralph she embraced all things Norwegian, including baked delicacies, Nordic stitchery, cross stitch and Hardanger. Betty was very proud to be actively involved in her community. She was a Charter member of the Girard Homemakers, Sidney Sons of Norway and the Shepherd of the Valley Church. Through her membership in Women of the Moose she worked and earned the position of Montana Deputy Grand Regent. Betty served as Election Board Chairman, Chief Judge or Election Judge for primary and general elections for Richland County, for over 40 years. Her volunteer work included Red Cross Blood Mobile worker, Meals on Wheels, Richland County Council on Aging, fundraiser for American Cancer Society, and vacation Bible school. She could often be found with her best friend, Delores, preparing meals for Shepherd of the Valley events, Sidney Seniors, Christian Women’s Club, Sons of Norway, or any occasion at the Sidney Moose Lodge. Family quickly learned that to know Betty’s whereabouts on any given day you would have to know her card playing schedule. You did NOT schedule anything on those days.(including doctor appointments) She considered all of her card playing partners dear friends. Betty’s comment, “ I never go anywhere,” was a family joke. Her travels to see family and friends took her to Norway, Mexico, Florida, California, Arizona, South Dakota, Georgia, Boston, New York, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Portland, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Branson and everywhere in between. Betty is survived by her daughter, Margaret & Jack Flynn, son, Charles & Debbie Danielson and daughter, Lisa & Steve Schroeder, 10 grandchildren, numerous great and great-great grandchildren, brother, Butch & Diane Renders and numerous nieces and nephews. Betty was proceeded in death by her parents, husband Ralph Norby, son Terry Danielson, brother Joe Renders Jr. and sisters Phyllis Russell and Doris Crusch.

To all of Betty's kids...may the memories of her bring comfort to your hearts. I feel that I have basically grown up with this lady and in my mind the energizer bunny was made to duplicate her. May God comfort each and everyone.

To all of Betty's family, Betty was such a blessing to my kids and I when we rented from them. If a landlady can be best, Betty was the best landlady a renter could have. She was a blessing and a friend. May your memories hold her close to you as you go through life without her. God rest her soul.
