Betty J. Line
July 18, 1935 ~ March 22, 2023
Betty Joan Line, 87, passed away on March 22, 2023. Betty is survived by her husband Buryl,
sons Gary (Karen), David, Steve (Tracy) and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is
preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Katie Jane Renschler and siblings Evelyn, Erma,
Lester and Howard.
Betty was born in 1935 in Hanover, IN. She is a graduate of Hanover High School and Indiana
Business College. In 1955 she met and married the love of her life, Buryl Line, and went on to
have three beloved sons. She first worked as a Court Stenographer for the Bartholomew County
Courthouse and was later a secretary at Northside Middle School for several years. Betty was
always up for a new adventure (shopping, anyone?) and loved being with her family and
friends. She was a member of First Christian Church and was active in both her card clubs and
the Beta Sigma Phi sorority. When she wasn’t brightening someone’s day here, she and Buryl
could be found enjoying the Florida sunshine.
The family has chosen to forgo a funeral service. In lieu of flowers, friends are invited to donate
to the Greater Indiana Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, 800-272-3900 or

Was a sorority sister of Betty’s for many years. Just thought of her this morning when I ran across a book she had given me written by Tracy.

Aunt Betty was a wonderful person. She was more like a sister to us rather than an Aunt as she was our Mothers youngest sibling. We could always count on having fun when she came to visit us. I remember she would always bring down her clothing she no longer wanted and all of us girls and Aunt Betty would get in Mom’s bedroom and everyone would try on clothes and laugh and giggle. She will definitely be missed. You could talk to Aunt Betty about anything.
