Betty Waters

Betty Ann (Rolfs) Waters, 98, passed away peacefully on the evening of October 20, 2025.

Betty was a lifelong resident of Junction City and an active member of the First Presbyterian Church. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother. Betty had a keen mind and a gracious heart, loved singing in the Presbyterian Church Choir, being active in PEO and Ladies Reading Club, and doting on her eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

She led a beautiful, full life and was known for her bright smile and loving heart. Betty passed the day before what would have been her husband's birthday, so after about 17 years apart, she was reunited with Bob to celebrate with him in heaven.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband Bob Waters, parents E.W. and Evelina Rolfs, and her brother E. J. Rolfs.

She is survived by her sister-in-law Eunice Rolfs (Junction City), her three children and their spouses: Jim (Bev) Waters (Salina, Kansas), Peggy (Glen) Erickson (Wichita, Kansas), Clarence (Jean) Waters (Omaha, Nebraska); eight grandchildren: Steven Waters, Scott Waters, Jennifer Waters, Christopher (Katie) Erickson, Alexandra (Dusty) Kossen, Sean Erickson, Lela (Tim) Wilson, Paul Waters; seven great-grandchildren – all who will forever cherish her memory.

Visitation will be Friday, November 7th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Johnson & Mass-Hinitt Funeral Home in Junction City. Funeral service will be Saturday, November 8th at 10:00 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Junction City.

Memorials can be made to the Presbyterian Church Choir, Junction City, Kansas.
