Betty Darlene Mount, 89, passed away November 29, 2016 at Regency Park in Jefferson, Iowa. She was born on August 9, 1927 to Harry and Hazel McComb.

She lived most of her life in Grand Junction, Iowa where she raised her children. During her younger years, she was very involved with the community, including the Ladies Auxiliary.
Betty was a member of United Methodist Church in Grand Junction. In her later years, she spent her time keeping the church clean. She also helped, as she put it, “the old people,” by cleaning their houses and taking them to the grocery store.

She was always on the go. Betty loved spending summer days at the ball fields, golfing, going to the casino, visiting and laughing with friends and family. She also loved to cheer on the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Betty worked for Frigidaire Manufacturing in Jefferson and during the summers she also worked sorting corn. Betty retired from Frigidaire Manufacturing after many years of service.

Betty is survived by her children: Ivan, Diana, Sandy and Barb; 11 grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren.

The family suggests memorials to the Alzheimer’s Association.
