Bette Jane Robison Rentfro, 89, passed away in her home in Hyrum, Utah on Thursday, April 4, 2019. Bette was born August 24, 1929 to parents Gonzella (Zell) Nate Robison and Budd S. Robison. On May 15, 1948, she married her high school sweetheart, Delbert in Cokeville, Wyoming where the two would live and raise their three children, Peggy, Debra, and Kelly. On December 27, 1962, the two were sealed for time and all eternity in the Logan LDS Temple.
Bette loved working as a secretary at the Cokeville school for many years until she and Delbert retired, staying in Cokeville, but making time to travel the country and camping closer to home where they continued to make memories with family and friends. Those memories were always close to her heart, often revisiting them in her journals, and sharing them with family. After the passing of her beloved husband, she moved to Cache Valley, Utah to be closer to family.
Grandchildren and great-grandchildren will remember the squeaky candy drawer in grandma’s Cokeville home, and knew they could always count on a plate of her homemade Christmas goodies, including her cherished candy and sugar cookies.
Bette enjoyed a Sunday ride in the mountains, serving others, reading, cross stitch, and spending time outdoors. She had a light-hearted personality and good sense of humor. Most of all she enjoyed time with family attending various sporting and extracurricular activities.
