Betty R. Kohn, 69, of rural Fairchild, passed away very peacefully with her devoted family at her side on Thursday morning, Nov. 22, 2018. She had been a resident of the Augusta Health and Rehabilitation since July of 2017.
Betty Rae Kohn, the daughter of Donald and Charlotte (Chambers) Trumph was born June 18, 1949. She was raised in Augusta where she attended grade school and graduated from Augusta High School in 1967. On June 22, 1968, Betty was united in marriage to Larry Kohn at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Fairchild. Together the couple farmed and raised their 3 daughters in rural Fairchild. In prior years she had worked at the Cheese Hut in Hixton for Harold and Mary Jacobs and also for a time at Bush Brothers Canning Company in Augusta. Before and after retiring from farming in 2001, Larry and Betty both worked 14 years for North American Fly Ltd, the company owned by their daughter and son-in-law out of Strum. Betty cherished her role as wife and mother; sewing for her daughters, traveling with the family, baking countless delicious pies and tending to her grandchildren. She also loved the outdoors, camping with friends and riding motorcycle with her husband. For several years she bowled on both women’s and couple’s leagues. A hobby that she enjoyed with her husband was restoring vintage trunks and she also loved working on craft projects. When Betty married Larry she became a member of St. John’s Catholic Church in Fairchild, where she enjoyed her involvement with St. Mary’s Altar Society.
