Betty L. Plantz, 95, of Ladysmith, passed away on April 27, 2020, at her home in Ladysmith.

Betty is survived by her children, Bonnie Stream of Clayton, WI; Sharon (Larry) Trussoni of Genoa, WI; Jerry (Margie) of Ladysmith, WI; Judith Plantz of East Lansing, MI; Carol (Eric) Hillan of Ladysmith, WI; Donald (Jody) of East Lansing, MI; and Rebecca Plantz of Phoenix, AZ. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren: Sheri, Scott, Cindy, Mallory, Kevin, Kelly, Justin, Evan, William, Jason, Ben, and Emma; and seven great-grandchildren: Seth, Ben, Josh, Tacoma, William, Joseph, and Michael. The Curtis brothers (Dennis, Russell, Randy, and Ricky) are considered an extension of the family.

She was preceded in death by her parents Earnest & Sarah Drum; her husband Robert Plantz; her son, Charles; her brothers Jesse, Harold, Alvin, Donald, and Bill; and her sisters Abigail, Evelyn (Olson), Lorraine (Gudis), and Dessa (Rhodes); and her great-grandchild, Clayton.

Out of concern for the national COVID-19 emergency, the family is having a small private service at Nash-Jackan Funeral Home in Ladysmith with Deacon Bob Rosolowski officiating. Burial will be in Riverside Cemetery.

A Celebration of Life with family & friends is tentatively planned for August 1 in Ladysmith, assuming it will be appropriate to convene in large groups by then.
