Betty Esther Eisner-Anderson, 83, passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus on July 25, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. She leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, family, and special memories.

Betty was a blessing born on February 18, 1943, to Ida and Walter Eisner. She grew up on a farm in the Pequot Lakes area before graduating from Pequot Lakes High School.
