Betty Ann Riesland, age 40, of Miles City went to be with the Lord on Friday, May 21, 2004 at the Holy Rosary Extended Care in Miles City. Many times during her illness she would say I'm in God's hands.
Betty was born on February 1, 1964, in West Plains, Missouri, the daughter of Noel Wayne and Betty Joann (Reasoner) Scott. She attended Overland Christian School in Overland Park in Kansas and attended high school at Mt. Zion Bible School at Ava, Missouri. Following her schooling, she married Curt Wyatt Riesland on February 22, 1986. They made their home at Belle Creek where they ranched and Betty worked for the Powder River Manor and the Broadus School as a teachers aide. She later moved to Miles City where Betty worked for Miles City Laundry, County Market, Wal-Mart, 4-Bs, and at Holy Rosary Health Center until her health forced her to quit. Betty enjoyed doing latch hook, helping others, and she loved to baby sit.
Betty is survived by her parents, Noel and Betty Scott of Lowry City, MO; a son, Clinton Wilbur Riesland of Belle Creek, MT; a daughter, Kristina Joann Riesland of Belle Creek, MT; a brother, David Lee Scott of Kansas City, MO; a sister, Glendora Lorene Kenney and her husband Steven of Witchita, KS; a nephew, Kenneth Rummerfield and a special friend, Steve Thibault of Miles City, MT. She was preceded in death by a brother, Donovan Wayne Scott, a nephew, Brandon Scott Thomas, and her grandparents.
