April 25, 1963 - November 17, 2015Betty Caltvedt, 52, of Rochester, died on Tuesday, November 17, 2015, at the Mayo Health System in Mankato, Minnesota.
Betty was born on April 25, 1963, in Buffalo Center, Iowa, to Clifford and Dorothy Caltvedt. After graduating from Buffalo Center-Rake High School in 1981, she attended South Dakota State University (SDSU) before transferring to Rochester Community and Technical College in Rochester, Minnesota (RCTC), to study nursing.
In 1986, Betty was blessed with the birth of her daughter, Amanda. After a single-car accident in 1990, she became a quadriplegic. Not allowing her disability to stop her, she continued to raise her daughter and returned to school, graduating from RCTC with an Associate’s Degree in Accounting in 1996. After the death of her father, Clifford, her mother, Dorothy, moved in, becoming her caregiver for many years.
Betty was thrilled to see her daughter, Amanda, graduate from high school and college and get married. The birth of her granddaughter, Lucy, brought her great joy.
Betty enjoyed spending time with family, friends, and her cat, Baby, as well as shopping, painting, and collecting Barbie and Betty Boop memorabilia.
Betty is survived by her mother, Dorothy; her sister, Darlene (Dwight) DoBell; her brother, Calvin; her daughter, Amanda (Dean) Steele; and her granddaughter, Lucy.
