Joyce "Betty" McCrimmon

Our dear mother, Betty, sadly passed away Saturday, December 14, 2024 at the age of 85. She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her.

She was born in London, England. She came to America when she was 16, and met her husband of 60 years, Eugene F. McCrimmon, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

Our mom realized her dream of living on the Oregon coast after her retirement from Casper Child Development Center. After our dad passed away we moved her back to Casper to be close to us. Her family was the most important thing to her, and we all spent lots of time together.

She loved to gamble, read, paint, and throwing the ball for her buddy, Harlem.

Our mom was overjoyed with the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

Betty leaves behind her daughters, Kelly McCrimmon; Maxie (Jim) Howrish; and Gina (Dean) Smith; grandchildren, Robert MacDonald; Jessica Baker; Shane Hemmer; Eugene McCrimmon; William Thorne; and Kelsey Reinhard; great-grandchildren, Kylie MacDonald; Mason MacDonald; Keenan Williams; Jack Baker; Brody Baker; Kyla McCrimmon; Cameron McCrimmon; Max McCrimmon; Madison Thorne; Grant Swartzel; Iain Thorne; and Mali Reinhard.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Eugene F. McCrimmon, in 2011; daughter, Georgie in 2013; and granddaughter Kristen Thorne in 2020.

When a mother dies, we lose a piece of who we are.
We lose the person whose story provides the beginning of our own.

At Betty's request, there will be no services.

Her only wish is for everyone to spend time with loved ones - especially your mother.
