Betty Jane (Crenshaw) Pauli was born on November 9, 1930 in Oklahoma City, OK.  She married Arland Walter Pauli on September 15, 1950 in Columbia, MO.  They shared 66 wonderful years of marriage. 

Betty left a legacy of sacrificial love and a deep and abiding faith in her Lord and Savior.  She touched countless lives in her lifetime through her acts of service in many volunteer capacities.  Her happiest moments were when she was spending time with her family and reaching out to meet the needs of others.  She will be greatly missed.

In addition to Arland, she is survived by her children, Bev (Boyd) Nichols, St. Charles, MO, Linda (Mark) Hanna, Camden, TN, Janis (Greg) Longbons, Prophetstown, IL, and David (Kim) Pauli of Olathe, KS; eleven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her son, Gregory.

Our thanks to all the staff at Good Samaritan for the genuine love and concern they shared during Betty’s final journey.
