Betty Kay Wilson, age 75, died peacefully at her Oakland,NE home surrounded by her family and beloved dog, Sampson on October 29, 2020. Betty was born September 14, 1945 in Denver, CO to Charles A. and Betty M. Gilbert. She graduated from Arvada High School and worked for nearly 25 years for the federal government—most of those years as a cartographer—before retiring and eventually moving to Oakland. She is survived by her siblings, Al and Kay Gilbert, Debbie and Norm Briggs; her children, Rhonda Daniels, Doug Daniels, Rich Wilson, and Diana Wilson; seven grandchildren: Ashley and her husband Andy, Kirah, Rachel, Jared, Nic and Joey; and her great grandchild, Sawyer Leib. Betty was a lover of coffee, books, and wolves; she was a rescuer of stray dogs and people. She loved gardening, spending time with her family, her adopted daughter, Stacey Nossem, friends, Kevin Giffey and the Giffey family, and her sweet dog. She touched many lives with her bright smile and infectious laugh, and her deepest wish was for everyone to love each other and have peace. Services will be held at a future date.
