Bette V. Deiters

Bette Viola Deiters, age 80 of Oshkosh, went home to be with her Lord on October 18, 2023, while surrounded by her family.

Bette was born in Berlin, WI, on October 29, 1942. She attended Berlin High School. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Education from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 3 years. Bette was a teacher in elementary education and physical education in Oshkosh, Green Bay and De Pere, WI, school districts. She later worked as a real estate agent and broker in both Wisconsin and California.

Bette was a proud and loving mother of 3 children (Erin, Jay and Sara) and grandma of 2 grandchildren (Jake and Johnny). She was an avid sports fan with regional favorites based on growing up in Wisconsin and then living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She cheered on the Packers, Brewers, Bucks, Badgers, Niners, Giants and Warriors through every season with passion. She loved playing sports and was proud of her baseball talent. Bette loved music and dancing, particularly tango. She was an excellent pianist and taught piano lessons as well. Spending time with her family, playing cribbage, eating ice cream and vacationing at Lake Forest Resort in Eagle River, WI were some of her favorite things. Bette will always be remembered for her faith, kindness, determination and humor.

Bette is survived by her daughter Erin (Jim) Brande and son Jay Deiters, sister Debi (Mark) Damico; grandchildren Jake and Johnny Brande; and many cousins.

Bette was preceded in death by her daughter Sara Ann Deiters and her parents, Ray and Violet Bahr.
