Betty H. Prout, 99, of Oconto, passed away Thursday, September 19, 2019 at The Bay of Oconto. Betty was born November 12, 1919 in Sault St. Marie, MI. Betty and her husband, the late George S. Prout, worked in Milwuakee, spending weekends and holiday in the Oconto area until their retirement when they made their permanent residence in Oconto. She loved to travel and visit her sister and family in Florida, as well as to Door County, Mackinac Island, Las Vegas, and even a trip to England with her husband. She enjoyed live performances at the Weidner Theater in Green Bay. Betty was a competitive scrabble player, cribbage player, card player and an avid reader. She also liked to bowl and play bingo. Her favorite food was Italian but her very favorite pie was... VINEGAR pie!! She absolutely loved it. Their pet dogs Chubby and Lady brought great joy as did her little bird Doodles.
Betty is survived by a younger sister, Maryann of Florida, many nieces and nephews and special Oconto friends, the Mello Shallow family. Betty was preceded in death by her husband, George, and two sisters.
A heartfelt thank you to her family, friends and care givers who brought comfort to her final days.
