Betty Larum

Betty Larum, a beloved wife, mother, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026, at the age of 80. She was born in Stoughton, to George and Alice Hanson, earned a business degree from UW-Whitewater, and married her childhood sweetheart, Thomas Larum. Together they built a life rooted in family, friends, careers, and commitment to each other in Janesville. In 2006, Betty and Tom moved to Springstead, where she became a master quilter and found enjoyment in outdoor activities, volunteering in the community, and spending time with family and friends.

Betty is survived by her loving husband, Tom, their two children, Kelly (Joe) Wiesner and Aric (Jamy) Larum, as well as other relatives and friends; all of whom will miss her deeply. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Patricia.

A private family service will be held to honor her life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dementia Society of America in memory of Betty.
