Betty Beatrice Nez, 80, of Snowflake, passed away peacefully, with family by her side, on Sept. 28, 2023. Betty married the love of her life, Danny Nez, in 1961 in Santa Clara, Calif. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Early in their marriage they moved to Snowflake, where they would go on to raise their family and create a life for themselves. Betty graduated from the University of New Mexico and spent her career working as a counselor at the Snowflake and Holbrook dormitories. Through her career she made a positive impact on many young people’s lives, and then in retirement carried on that work throughout the community. Betty loved spending time with her family and the fellowship she found through the LDS church. Betty is survived by her husband, Danny Nez; children, Caroline (Wayne) Reidhead, Troy Nez, Renee (Wayne) Ellis, and Danielle Nez; seven grandchildren; and three great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by son, Davis Nez.
