Betty Fogo, 89

Betty Joyce Fogo was born on July 29, 1931 in North Branch, Kansas, the daughter of Harold and Nina Silsby Beam. She died on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at the Salina Regional Health Center in Salina, Kansas at the age of 89.
Betty graduated from Esbon High School in 1949 and in later years completed classes at NCK Technical School and Cloud County Community College to help further her secretarial and office administrative career.
On June 12, 1949, she was united in marriage with James Fogo. Eight children were born to this union, which later dissolved.
In 1970, she moved to Beloit with her family, where she worked as the Secretary to the Principal at Beloit High School for 17 years. In 1987, she moved to Topeka and worked for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment until she retired in 1998. She then worked for the Highland Park United Methodist Church until fully retiring in June 2010.
In her spare time, Betty was an avid reader. She also loved her flowers, playing card games, and watching Jeopardy. But her family was always her main priority.
