A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, It broke our hearts to see you go, God only takes the best. They say that memories are golden, Well maybe that is true, But we never wanted memories, We only wanted you. Your life was love and labour, Your love for your family true, You did your best for all of us, We will always remember you. We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore, We did our duty to the end, ‘Til we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away, And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay. Our lips cannot speak how we loved you, Our hearts cannot tell what to say, But God only knows how we miss you, In our home that is lonely today. In Loving Memory

Betty Mullner, 95, Mandan, died peacefully in her home on January 1, 2018, with her loving family by her side. Elizabeth “Betty” was born April 21, 1922, in St. Anthony to Frank and Mary (Goertel) Muth. She attended school through the eighth grade. On June 13, 1944, Betty married Frank J. Mullner in St. Anthony. Betty was a hard working farm wife and milked up to 15 cows per day. She loved to dance, play cards, and enjoyed crocheting and giving her creations to her children and grandchildren. Betty had a wonderful talent for making strudel and was a wonderful cook who would have food on the table for family and friends who would just drop by. Betty worked at the Mandan Hospital, Colonial Motel,

Baptist Home, and Mandan Villa. She retired in 1973. All through the years Betty and Frank would make trips to Colorado to see their children and grandchildren who live there. They attended every graduation and wedding. Faith and family meant everything to them. The family wishes to thank all of the caregivers who gave Mom the special care she needed with unconditional love ~ Nicole, Rhonda, Jordyn, Geri, Bonita, Stacey, and Loreine. To Penny who helped us so we could fulfill Mom and Dad’s wishes to stay in their home. To Tammy Schafer from St. Joseph Church for her pleasant companionship and Eucharistic service to Mom & Dad for many years. To the hospice team and especially Judy, who we are so thankful to for being there the last three days of Mom’s life. And of course, Elaine, whose quiet presence, strong devotion, and steady care giving led Mom toward her last breath. Blessed to have shared her life is her husband of 73 years, Frank Mullner, Mandan; two daughters, Donna (Paul) Magrum, Loveland, CO and Elaine (Nick) Hatzenbuhler, Mandan; three sons, Duane (Kate) Mullner, Denver, CO, Ray (Norah) Mullner, Loveland, CO, and Dennis Mullner, Loveland, CO; eight grandchildren, Michelle Turner, Melissa Dodd, Derek Mullner, Nicole McClellan, Shane Magrum, Gail Calabrese, Wendi Shook, and Travis Hatzenbuhler; 18 great grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild, Brynlee; one sister, Dorothy Berreth, Mandan; and four sister-in-laws, Loretta Muth, Mandan, Josie Muth, Tacoma, WA, Helen Muth, Mandan, and Irene Muth, Portland, OR. Betty was preceded in death by her parents; an infant son, Gary; grandson, Paul Magrum; five brothers, Francis, Clarence, Mike, Robert, and Richard Muth; twin infant siblings, Raymond and Juliann; one sister-in-law, Maureen Muth; and one brother-in-law, Ingram Berreth.
