Bettendorf, Mainelle "Nellie"
of Jackson, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, June 8, 2012 at the age of 92 years. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 48 years, Johnny Bettendorf; her son, Dwayne Hill; sisters, Virgie Shaw, Sue Hendges and Sadie Merrifield; brothers William and Burnette Hughes. She is survived by her two children, Janet (Daryl) Scott of Anderson, Indiana and Larry (Shirlean) Hill of Jackson; three grandchildren, Brenda (Tom) Snedden of Maquoketa, Iowa, Robert (Spencer) Scott of Indianapolis, Indiana and Greg (Kristy) Scott of LaPorte, Indiana; seven great grandchildren, Ryan and Jonathan Snedden, Stephanie, Conner, MacKenzie, Madelyn and Gavin Scott; several nieces and nephews. Also survived by her extended family, Dee Dee Adams, Russell Baldree Jr., Ginger Burgin & Daniel Chaffin; 14 great grandchildren and five great great grandchildren.
Mainelle was a member of the Rose City Post and the Jackson Eagles Aerie #612. She was born March 14, 1920 in Berea, Kentucky, Casey County. She moved to Michigan with her family in the mid 1920's. She worked many years at Fields Department Store and later the Viking Steak House. Mainelle carried a youthful spirit in her wise and seasoned soul. She was a colorful character and a person of immense curiosity, determination and good humor. She enjoyed daily phone conversations with her sisters, which she's missed the last couple of years. Mainelle loved her family and friends and looked forward to their visits. The last year of her life was spent at Ridge Crest Health Center. While there she enjoyed making new friends, attending activities and was blessed with a wonderful roommate, Dee.
Her family wishes to thank all the staff at Ridge Crest for the great care given our mother and the wonderful Hospice nurses who attended her.
