NIBLEY, UTAH: Betty Andrews Maurer, 51, Our beautiful Betty passed from us on April 17, 2005, to find peace with our Father in Heaven. Betty demonstrated such courage and hope as she fought a valiant battle with cancer. We are so blessed to have known Betty and so happy that she shared her life with us. We will love her forever and will miss our Betty Boop.

Betty was born on August 28, 1953, to Hal K. and Mary Lou Larson Andrews in Logan, Utah. She attended Logan City Schools and at the age of 18 began her lifelong career at the Logan Employment Office, then Job Service, and now called the Utah Department of Workforce Services. She began working as a receptionist and retired 2 years ago as a Division Supervisor. Betty enjoyed her career and working with her many friends there.

Betty became a member of the International Association of Professional Employment Specialists (IAPES) and held many positions locally as well as internationally. She was program chairperson for the International Conference held in Salt Lake City in 2002. Betty enjoyed her association with IAPES and the opportunity it afforded her to travel to many cities across the United States. She cherished the friendships she made wherever she went and had many friends who loved her.

Betty met her soul-mate and the love of her life, Tim. They were married August 16, 1974. Betty and Tim created a beautiful and loving home for their three children, Kandace, Nathan, and Tiffani, and together they taught them the love of families, how to value work, and especially how to enjoy life.

Betty loved monthly Club meetings with dear friends, camping adventures, trips to Arizona with friends, the Bear Lake cabin, gardening, scapbooking, more trips with friends, collecting Hard Rock Café pins, planning weddings, interior designing, Lake Powell adventures, playing Bunco, and trips with family. Betty didn=t like bugs and screamed loudly enough to be heard miles away whenever she saw one.

Betty is survived by Tim and her children, Kandace and her husband Josh (Riverton, UT), Nathan and his wife McKenzie (Nibley), and Tiffani and her fiancee Brooks (Nibley). Betty is also survived by her adoring grandchildren, Austin, Landyn, and Hali, her mother, Mary Lou, her brother, Doug and his wife Judy, and a special cousin Bill Larson and his wife Margy. Betty leaves behind her best friends, Cindy, Cathy, and Bonnie, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Hal (the Coke man), and Tim’s parents, Phebe and Oscar Maurer.

Betty and the whole family appreciated the caring support she received during her illness from Dr. Ali Ben-Jacob and his staff, Carrie, Nancey, Vonda, Emma, and especially Kathy, Carrie S., and Alyson. Dr. Ben-Jacob was her rod of hope. The family also wishes to thank Alpine Hospice for their dedication and assistance.

We will celebrate Betty=s life on Thursday, April 21 at 1 p.m. at the Allen-Hall Mortuary in Logan. The family will greet friends at the mortuary on Wednesday, April 20, from 6-8 p.m. and from 11:30-12:45 on Thursday prior to the service. Burial will be in the Millville-Nibley Cemetery.
