Betty Anne (Schmitt) Lenfert

Betty (Boopers) Lenfert left us peacefully Saturday July 24th, 2021 to be with our Dad and her husband, Paul. She was surrounded by her family and friends in the house where she had just celebrated her 86th birthday less than a week earlier. A graduate of New Albany High School and Webster University, she ran and never stopped trying to help grow her families businesses.

Also a music teacher, choir director and always had a spring in her step.

She loved her hometown of New Albany and always supported her community through her countless hours of volunteering.

A smile was always on her face, a dance in her stride and a plethora of happiness to share for all!

Preceded in life by her husband, Paul J Lenfert Sr.; and her siblings, Margaret (Sissy) Devarenne, Charles Schmitt Jr. and J. Robert Schmitt.

She is survived by her 5 “Kids”, Paul Joseph (PJ) Lenfert Jr, Charles (Chuck) Lenfert (Carol), Stacy Tunnell (Dave), Julie Young (Melvin "Babe"), and Stefanie Griffith (Tony); her sister, Mary Jean Huber; grandchildren, Brandon Young (Krista), Jessica Young, Joey Griffith, Aly Lee (Wyatt), Jacob Griffith, Kelly Chmielewski (Jason), Kristy Hampton (Scott); and great grandchildren, Allison, Mia and Alia.
