She was born April 28, 1932 in Decatur, the daughter of the late Harold Lynn and Marianna H. (Rucker) Eichenauer. Bettyann graduated with the Class of 1950 at Decatur High School. She lived most of her life in Decatur, Oakley & Pana. She was a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Decatur and First United Pentecostal Church, Pana. As a homemaker, she was a very simple and down to earth woman with a sense of humor. Mom was a very caring person, and our anchor who never missed an opportunity to help others. She had the ability to adapt to anything: a city girl running a dynamic home with four spirted children while holding down a farm during the day, to bookkeeper, parts runner and shuttle driver for BP Automotive. Not a year went by that she missed a chance to make her family feel good by sending a birthday or Christmas card with a little surprise inside. Mom was the epitome of a wife, mother, grandmother and loyal friend. Bettyann Eichenauer met Roy Peters while working at Eichenauer Electric Service and married on December 16, 1956 in Oakley, IL. He passed on September 12, 2012.
