Betty Lou Lynch, a daughter of Howard and Catherine (Schierneck) Lynch, was born on April 11, 1934, in Battle Creek, Iowa. Baptized and confirmed at the Methodist church in Ida Grove, she attended grade school at Ida Grove and graduated from Ida Grove High School in 1953.

On February 14, 1955, Betty married Raymond (Bud) Peck at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Storm Lake. Subsequently, they were blessed with six children: LuAnn, Raenette, Penny, Timothy, Tammie, and Tony.

Always a hard worker, Betty began as a waitress and grocery clerk. Then, she moved to Storm Lake and began working for a lumber yard. Moreovefr, she, really, enjoyed her years working for Iowa Turkey Express and Fiedler Trucking as a bookkeeper and dispatcher.

In her spare time, Betty enjoyed BINGO, sewing, and crocheting. She could play Skip-Bo and talk on the phone for hours. She loved music and sang at many weddings as well as other gatherings. Every song was her “favorite.” In her younger days, Betty and Bud loved dancing at the Cobblestone in Storm Lake and the Lakewood Ballroom in Lake View. Most of all, however, Betty loved spending time with her family and friends, especially with her dog, Sally. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
