Betty Jo (Unger) Young, went to be with Jesus on Tuesday, July 30, 2024 at Satanta District Hospital in Satanta, Kansas. She was born on May 23, 1933, in Ford, Kansas, to her loving parents Royal Nile and Grace Gertrude (Tucker) Unger.
She and Gale V. Young were married on July 30, 1950, in Satanta, Kansas. Their dedication and love to one another was like none other, they enjoyed time together farming and raising their family. Working alongside Gale on the farm brought her immense joy and fulfillment. Her family was truly her greatest treasure, and she poured endless love into nurturing these connections.
Betty Jo dedicated many years of her life as a school bus driver for Satanta Schools where she also attended many sporting events. She also enjoyed spending time with the Stitch & Chatter club, bridge club, quilting, and reading.
One of Betty Jo's defining characteristics was her deep faith. In 1971 Betty Jo gave her life to Jesus and was baptized with her family that same year. She had a profound love for the Lord and served as a Sunday School teacher, guiding others towards Jesus through her devotion to studying the Bible.
