Bette J. Montgomery

Bette J. Montgomery, 86, of Laramie, Wyoming died Monday, July 18, 2011 at the Davis Hospice Center in Cheyenne.

Bette's parents, Minnie and Glen Bonta came by wagon in 1910 to Greeley, Colorado from Centerville, Iowa. The family later moved to Wyoming and Bette was born August 17, 1924 in a two-room log cabin in LaGrange. The youngest of five children, Bette attended elementary school in LaGrange where she often rode her pony, Spot, to school. She moved to Cheyenne and lived with the Veta family while she attended high school, graduating from Cheyenne High School in 1942.

Bette married Joe C. Montgomery on June 23, 1943 in Kimball, Nebraska. They lived in California and Texas while Joe was serving in the United States Army. Joe and Bette moved back to Wyoming where their first daughter, Sheryl, was born. They moved to Laramie where their other two children, Calvin P. and Jacque were born. They were part owners of the Laramie Ice Plant until they moved to Cheyenne in 1956.
