Bettie J. Wyant died Sunday February 4, 2018 with her family by her side. She was born to Melvin and Imogene Wyant on a sweltering September day in 1936, on the Monroe City family farm.
Bettie bought the rural Cow Muck Store in the early 1960’s, and ran it for several years. She was co-owner and long haul driver for Wells Trucking Co. She team drove to California twice a month hauling produce for Bierhaus and Sons. Her home was always open for all kids and most of them called her mom. She once said she counted 27 kids in the house when she was getting ready to leave on the truck. After retiring from trucking, she worked at JC Penney’s and Good Samaritan Hospital. Bettie loved gardening and took great pride in her flowers.
