Racine – Elizabeth Leona (nee: Kuhn) Bartel “Aunt Betty”, age 93, passed away peacefully at Ascension – All Saints Hospital on Sunday evening, December 3, 2017 surrounded with the love of family.
Aunt Betty was born in Yorkville on December 28, 1923 to the late Charles and Frances (nee: Hangar) Kuhn. She was a graduate of Union Grove High School. Elizabeth was united in marriage with Wilfred Bartel on November 23, 1946. She was employed for over 45 years at Styberg Engineering – retiring as assistant office manager.
Aunt Betty was a longtime member of St. Lucy Catholic Church. Years ago, she enjoyed golfing, bowling and yardwork. Although she never had children of her own…….Aunt Betty was a lovingly devoted aunt to all her nieces & nephews…..and she loved each and every one of them as her own.
Surviving are her sisters, Marianne (Earl) Mortenson and Violet (Gene) Mulenbeck; sisters-in-law, Nancy Kuhn and Wilma Kuhn Ryder; and by many dear nieces and nephews – too numerous to mention all by name. In addition to her parents, Aunt Betty was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Wilfred Bartel, on December 18, 1987; and by 3 brothers and 5 sisters.

My sincere condolences on your loss. May fond memories of Aunt Betty bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these before she passed away. My hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. God has promised us that we will soon be reunited with our loved ones. “There is going to be a resurrection,” the Bible confirms at Acts 24:15. “Do not be amazed at this,” Jesus assures us, “for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29)
