Betty Kay Holsclaw

Betty Kay Holsclaw, age 87, passed away on September 28, 2022 in Berthoud, Colorado. She was born on December 2, 1934 to Robert and Olowene (Emery) Conley in Fort Lupton, Colorado, where she also grew up, attended public schools, ultimately graduating from Fort Lupton high School in 1952. Just two years later, she married the love of her life, Edward Holsclaw on June 20th at the First Baptist Church in Fort Lupton. Their family has remained living in the Fort Lupton area.

For labor, Betty worked as a school bus driver for seven years. But her passion for owning and operating her own dairy farm was her dedicated occupation for next 50 years. In 2012, Betty sold her last cows and retired from the farming lifestyle once the work became too strenuous for one person, to seek a more relaxed living environment. Betty loved her animals, and taking care of them, especially her dogs. She also loved to bowl with her husband and enjoyed being around her family and friends. But Betty’s love for farming trumped all because she loved the work, which kept her family fed and happy all their lives.

Betty is survived by her five children; Mike (Teri) Holsclaw, (Centennial, CO), Leslie (Pat) Garrett, (Fort Lupton, CO), Krista (Kitti) Holsclaw, (Loveland, CO), Matthew Holsclaw, (Berthoud, CO), and Mark Holsclaw (Fort Lupton, CO). She is preceded in passing by her loving husband, Edward Holsclaw. By both parents, Robert and Olowene (Emery) Conley. Also, by her two siblings, Ralph Conley and Leota Mattive.

The family of Betty Holsclaw family would like to thank Bristol West Hospice and the staff at Berthoud Care and Rehab for their loving care for the past 3 years.
