Betty Joy Weissinger

Betty Joy Weissinger, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother and friend, passed away on July 21, 2023, in Cheyenne. She was born on August 14, 1941, in the charming town of Mercedes, Texas. Betty's passing has left a void in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Betty dedicated an impressive thirty years of her life to MHP Accounting. Her commitment to her profession was unwavering, and she approached her work with utmost diligence and precision.

Beyond her career accomplishments, Betty was a woman with an array of interests that enriched her life. One could often find her engaging in the thrill of finding hidden gems at garage sales or passionately cheering on her Denver Broncos. When the weather didn't allow for going out and there were no football games on, Betty indulged in watching Judge Judy with great enthusiasm. These hobbies brought her great joy and shared excitement with family and friends.

Betty was a patriot, who loved her country, and supported all those who protected her beloved nation, either in the military or in law enforcement. She actively participated in the Patriot Guard to honor our fallen veterans.

Betty is survived by her two loving husbands: David Weissinger and Glenn R. Reed Sr., who were sources of tremendous love and support throughout her life journey. She will be deeply missed by her sons Glenn R. Reed Jr. and Shawn Villalpando, whose admiration for their mother knew no bounds.

Family held a special place in Betty's heart, as evidenced by the bond she shared with her cherished siblings. She is survived by sister Sharon Conine as well as the memory of her late mother Willie Hickman and sisters Annie Reynolds, and Barbara McCann who preceded her in death.

Betty was a devoted grandmother who reveled in the company of those she treasured most. Her grandsons Merle A. Seese and Mathew R. Reed held a special place in Betty's heart as they created unforgettable memories together. Furthermore, Betty was blessed with eight great-grandchildren whose laughter filled many of her days. A legacy that will continue to shine is Betty's great-great-grandson, the youngest addition to the family, representing a future filled with hope and promise.

As we gather to celebrate Betty's life, on August 18th, there will be a graveside service at Cheyenne National Cemetery, at 1 pm, followed by a reception at Schrader Funeral Home, let us remember her resilient spirit and unwavering love for family and friends. In our collective mourning, let us find solace in the knowledge that she has found peace in the eternal embrace.

May Betty's soul rest in eternal serenity, forever remembered as a pillar of strength, love, and joy.
