Betty Ileene Bliss

Betty Ileene (Steeley) Bliss, 92, loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away March 26th, 2018, because her work here was done. Betty was born in Colony, KS, and grew up in Iola, KS, and after attending college, made her way to Wichita where she met the love of her life, Harold. Harold passed away in May of 2017. We’re pretty sure Betty left us so she and Harold could spend their 69th wedding anniversary together in Heaven on April 3rd. She was also preceded in death by parents, Chester & Bessie Steeley; sister, Lola Petersen; and brother, Clarence Steeley. Betty is survived by children, Beverly (Wesley) Brickley, Rick Reed, Cheri (Greg) Hare, and Bruce (Tammy) Bliss; grandchildren, Chris, Ray, Matthew, Jaymie, Lynn, and Rachael; and 9 great-grandchildren. A viewing will be from 9-10 a.m. at Resthaven Mortuary and graveside funeral service 10 a.m. at Resthaven Cemetery both on Sat. March 31, 2018.
