Debra K.

(Monday) Bett

Debra Bett (née Monday) of Lake Mills, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and expert caregiver, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2026, at the age of 71, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, resilience, and unwavering love for her family.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Guinevere Monday-Doran (née Welch), father, Earl Monday Sr., brother John Monday and stepbrother, Earl Doran.  Debra is survived by her husband of 50+ years, Bob Bett, son Nate Bett (Kellie) of Cottage Grove, daughter Corey Bett of Menomonee Falls, and grandchildren Langdon, Danica, and Jessalyn.  She is further survived by her siblings Linda Dembiec, Earl Monday Jr., Karen Schulze, Scott Monday, and Susan Alexander, and many other loving friends and relatives.

Born into the Monday family of Milwaukee, Debra carried with her a strong sense of compassion and dedication that shaped every aspect of her life. She was known for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and the ability to make others feel welcomed and valued. Whether through a comforting word, a shared laugh, or a quiet act of generosity, Debra touched countless lives in meaningful ways.

Debra found her greatest joy in her family. She was a devoted mother and a proud grandmother who cherished every moment spent with her loved ones. Her home was a place of comfort and connection, where traditions were honored and memories were made. She took pride in nurturing those around her and was a steady source of support and encouragement.  She loved nothing more than being involved in the lives of those around her.

Throughout her life, Debra demonstrated strength and grace, facing challenges like cancer with courage and perseverance. She had a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures—time with family, heartfelt conversations, and moments of peace and reflection.  She loved crafting, thrifting, crafting with things she thrifted, and Gone with the Wind.

She is deeply missed by all who knew her, but her spirit lives on in the lives she touched and the love she shared so freely.

A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, 606 College Street, Lake Mills.

Visitation will be in the Catechetical Center beginning at 9 a.m. until the time of service.

Debra's family would like to thank the staff of Commonheart Home Health & Hospice for their compassionate care during this difficult time.

Forever remembered, forever loved.
