Our beloved aunt, age 74, lost her courageous battle with
cancer on September 16, 2011 while surrounded by her young
family. Betty was born in Taunton, MN to William and Annie
Kuchera. After high school she served in the Air Force for 3
honorable years. After leaving the military, she started work as a
civil servant at Norton Air Force Base where she met Kenneth
Templeman whom she married in 1963. After 32 years of
service to her government, she retired in 1981. In 1991, after 28
happy years, she lost her love Kenneth to brain cancer. Betty is
preceded in death by her husband Kenneth, her parents, sister
Marie and brothers Raphael, Mayo and Duane. She is survived
by brothers Bernard of Florida and Dr. Robert of MN and those
she lovingly referred to as her young family-nieces Margaret
DeJean (Vance), Eileen Swope (Robert), nephew Kenneth
Shearer (Sheila), and their children Kyle DeJean (Linda), Aryne
Shearer (Mike), Kandyce DeJean (Junior), Matthew Swope and
Brooklynn Glaze (who will miss her immensely), as well as many
friends. There will be no services. Emmerson-Bartlett Memorial
Chapel of Redlands is handling all arrangements. Donations can
be made in memoriam to the American Cancer Society.
