Betty Jean Mucha, of Westfield, Wisconsin joined our Lord and Savior on Saturday, January 22, 2022, at the age of 77.
Betty was born September 25, 1944, in Rhinelander, Wisconsin to Allen Quandt and Elsa (Welfley) Quandt.
Betty married her high school sweetheart at the age of 16, Richard(18), and united in Holy Matrimony on December 31, 1960. Together they were married for 60 years and blessed with three beautiful children.
Betty worked for Master Lock & Key Co., Holiday Cups, Target, and ASCS of Waukesha until the time of her retirement. After retirement, Betty enjoyed traveling with her sister Mollie Weber, her best friend Mary Mueller, and her niece Lora (Danny) Peters. But what Betty enjoyed most in life was spending time with her grandchildren & great-grandchildren whom she’d give the world to. She has always been her children’s and grandchildren’s biggest supporter and was so proud of each and every one of them and all they’ve had to overcome.
Betty was preceded in death by her loving husband, Richard James Mucha Sr., Mother Elsa Quandt, Father Allen Quandt, Brother John (Jack) Quandt, Sister Mollie Weber, and nephew Ronald Mucha Jr. Betty was absolutely heartbroken when she lost her only son, Richard James Mucha Jr., to a fatal car accident in 1992 and then her cherished granddaughter Nicole Marie Rivette in 2003 to a fatal car crash as well.
Betty was survived by her daughters Michelle (Michael) Gall, Rohnda (Paul) Herrmann, her grandchildren Frank (Nicole) Bart Jr., Richard (Alyssa) Mucha -Bart, Emerson Deemer, Holly Herrmann, Maliah Rivette, Jacob Herrmann, Lorenzo Herrmann, Nicole Pazin, Daniel (Megan) Gall, Paul (Kelly) Gall, and great-grandchildren Ariana Stone, Camille Deemer, Ashton Bart, Jacoby Stone, Atticus Mucha- Bart, Brecken Mulliken, Gannin Gall, Genesis Stauffacher, Grayson Gall, her best friend Mary Mueller, and her loving puppy & companion Baby.
