After Betty’s 1st husband, Ernest Ruzek, died in 1969 she moved with her daughter to Lincoln, NE. She worked at Goodyear for many years until her retirement. Betty married Howard Turner and they moved back to Weston. Howard died in 1993.
Betty was a member of St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church in Weston, NE and the American Legion Post #308 Auxiliary. She enjoyed gardening, flowers, birds and her dogs. She loved cooking and she always made extra to send to family and her friends or anyone in need. Many of them loved her famous potato salad.
She is survived by her daughter, Karen Bunde; granddaughters, Jamie (Jeff) Ritchey and Mindy Bunde; great-grandchildren, Jacob, Logan and Max Ritchey; son-in-law, Brian Bunde.
She was preceded in death by her 1st husband, Ernest Ruzek; 2nd husband, Howard Turner; parents, Otto and Helen Cerny; siblings, Dick Cerny, Gary Cerny, Bob Cerny, Don Cerny and Doris Essay; and her beloved dogs.
Loved having her a part of our church family all these years. She was a blessing! Peg Bouc
Witty and energetic lady that always welcomed me into her home!
Karen and family, please accept my sympathy in the loss of your dear mother. I will keep Betty and you and your family in my prayers. I was Betty’s flower girl for her wedding with Ernie Ruzek. I loved Betty when I was a young child growing up in Weston and Wahoo. She was always so loving and cheerful. We were able to reconnect at the annual St. John’s dinners. May Betty now be enjoying eternal peace and happiness in heaven with Jesus our Savior and with all her loved ones who went before her. With love, prayers & sympathy, Elaine Bartek Davee (Bellevue, NE)
