Betty Lou Bruce of Angels Camp

   Betty Lou Bruce - March 24, 1923 to February 21, 2016

   Betty passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 92 in Angels Camp with family by her side.

   In 1939 she married William Wayne Bruce and remained married until Wayne's death in 1986.

   Together they raised their four children; Bob Bruce (wife Jerry Ferguson Bruce) of Angels Camp, and Don Bruce (wife Kim Pilkington Bruce) of Carson City, Nevada.

   She was sadly predeceased by her daughter Virginia Schultz (partner Chris Filmore still living) of Tuolumne and her son Lenny Bruce and his wife Terry Barnett Bruce of Angels Camp.

   In addition she leaves 16 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren and one on the way, along with countless friends.

   She loved all of her babies, big and small.

   Our prayers were that she wouldn't experience any pain as she dealt with lung cancer, and she didn't.

  We are thankful for Betty's faith, knowing she is now with Jesus celebrating her eternal life in His presence.

   Betty's faith had her seeking Jesus daily and earnestly praying for those around her.  She loved going to Sunday services at the Lake Tulloch Bible Church and attending a Circle XX women's bible study group.

   Betty, we love you and are so thankful that you were in our lives and shared your faith, your stories, your puzzles and your game shows - especially Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.

   Betty was such a blessing to so many, we will miss her dearly.

   Betty's Memorial Service will be held at Lake Tulloch Bible Church at 10 AM on Monday, February 29, 2016 with a viewing at 9 AM.  Her life will be celebrated by many family and friends who enjoyed her faith, wisdom and wit.

   San Andreas Memorial Chapel is handling arrangements.
