DERICH, Betty  – 

February 17, 1931 – November 10, 2023

Betty Derich (née Krstić) passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at the age of 92.

We are tremendously saddened by the passing of our beloved Betty.

Betty was the beloved wife of Jerry Derich; and devoted mother to Marlene Prosser (Glenn), Dianne Olchowy (Marshall) and Brian Derich.

Loving sister to the late Darina Malenko; aunt to Nancy Camacho and Sandra Kendall; and daughter of the late Bozidar and Katica Krstić.

Betty loved and adored her grandchildren, Grant Prosser, Amanda Prosser, Daniel Derich and Alexandra Derich. By the tender age of eight, both her mother and father had passed away, leaving an indelible loss.

It was at her last foster home that she experienced the love of family and support.

Despite the seeming challenges of losing her parents so early, her positivity, easygoing love-nature gave her a wonderful life with her treasured family.

Family meant everything to Betty. There was never anything she wouldn’t do to help her children. She was an excellent cook and baker, and knew how to bring family and extended family together for celebrations that are still treasured in all our memories. She radiated love, loved her children and grandchildren tremendously.
