Betty Lou was born on March 8, 1932, to Harry “Dan” and Vera (Squibb) McColloch in Forest City Township. She attended school in Forest City. On March 29, 1949, she married Myrlen Nelson in Albert Lea, Minnesota. To their union, five children were born: Cindy, Wendy, Richy, Kevin, and Jon.

For approximately twenty-eight years, Betty worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Westview Care Center. Moreover, after retiring, she volunteered for many more years at Westview.
No matter what the weather, Betty would go out walking every night. In addition, she enjoyed playing cards, reading, and cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes. Most of all, however, she loved spending time with her grandchildren and making pies for every family event she could. She will be remembered as a loving mother with a kind soul.
Her survivors include her five children: Cindy (Larry) Anderson, Wendy (Gary) Bomstad, and Richy (Tudi), Kevin, and Jon Nelson; twelve grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; one great great-grandchild; her three siblings, Wilma, Jackie, and Junior; her sister-in-law, Tootie; and her two special friends, JoAnn Harle and Donna Nedved; along with many extended family members and friends.
