Betty Jane Prindle Boll, 91, of Lewisburg, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021, in Russellville. She was born on Aug. 13, 1930, in New London, Wisc. to the late Onie Jay Prindle and Wanda Mae Sherwood.
In addition to her parents, Betty is preceded in death by her beloved husband of over 60 years, Bobbie Gene Boll; her daughter, Barbara Vann; her grandson, Daniel Boll; her brother, Roy Prindle; and her son-in-law, Richard Hart.
She is survived by her daughters, Diane Gentry of Arden, N.C., Nancy Hart of Marion, Iowa, Debra (Larry) Coomer of Lewisburg, and Sally (Jeffrey) Owensby and Sandra (Terry) English, both of Weaverville, N.C.; her son, Kenneth (Karen) Boll, of Lexington; her sisters, Darlene Coonfare, Shirley Fuller, and Carol Sill; and her 23 grandchildren, 51 great-grandchildren, and 19 great-great-grandchildren.
Betty was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. After growing up in rural Iowa, she was married to her husband in Howell County, Missouri in 1947. The two brought up their family on the Boll family farm in Dundee, Iowa before spending many years living in the mountains of North Carolina. They eventually resettled in Logan County, where they grew plentiful, beautiful vegetable gardens and cared for many appreciative cats. Betty loved watching her grandchildren play, hunting mushrooms and fishing with her husband, and having fresh-picked wildflowers brought to her. She could regularly be found enjoying the sunshine and fresh air while sitting on the porch with her family.
Whether they called her “Mom” or “Grandma,” each of her many family members will miss her deeply but will take comfort in knowing she is in the presence of her Heavenly Father alongside her “Bob”.
A memorial service for Mrs. Boll will be held on Saturday, Nov. 6, at 3 o’clock at Price Funeral Home in Lewisburg with Brother Harris Dockins officiating. The family will receive friends Saturday afternoon from 1 o’clock until the hour of service.
Inurnment alongside her husband will follow at Forestville Cemetery in Dundee, Iowa at a later date.
