Betty Lou (Swegle) Page

She was born on March 15, 1934 to Ira Thomas and Ruth May (Blair) Swegle in Galesburg. She married Dale Page on December 19, 1954 in Galesburg.

Betty is survived by her husband Dale of Peoria, children, Bob Page of Peoria, Cindy (Jon Siltala) Tempas of Midland, MI, Pam Craig of Peoria, and Ed (Kristine) Page of Ooltewah, TN, grandchildren, Christopher (Genny) Tempas of Royal Oak, MI, and Ryan Tempas of Seattle, WA, and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, daughter, Michelle Page, one brother, Charles Swegle, and one sister, Helen Hough.

After graduating from Galesburg Senior High, Betty worked for Western Adjustment Company in Galesburg, and then transferred to their Peoria office. After her children were born, she chose to stay home and care for them and their home.

In her free time, she enjoyed traveling, and her favorite places to visit were the Caribbean and Hawaii. She enjoyed flying and taking train trips. She also loved to travel to her grandchildren’s many events. Betty was along for the ride – She had a good time no matter what she was doing as long as she was with people she loved. She cherished time spent with her family and liked to cook, craft, and sew. In her younger years, one of her favorite things to do was roller-skate. She was kind, caring, and willing to help anyone in need. Her husband Dale is confident that he has a new guardian angel.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, October 15, 2021 at Davison-Fulton-Woolsey-Wilton Funeral Home. Visitation will begin one hour before. Burial will be held at Springdale Cemetery.
