Bette Lou (Faulkner) Deitrich, passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 31, 2025.
She was born on July 5, 1940 to Kenneth Thomas Faulkner and Josephine (Brown) Faulkner survived by a brother Thomas K. Faulkner (Kathy).
She was preceded in death by both of her parents and her husband Ronald Deitrich.
She is survived by her daughter, Marsha DeMarea Copeland (Kevin), her granddaughters, Karlie Jo Copeland (Olian) and Joele Kae Copeland (VR) as well as her great grandchildren Kross, Navy, Audra and Adair whom she never got to meet in person but enjoyed pictures and FaceTime thanks to the digital age.
She was blessed to have many friends that she grew to love as her family over the 25+ years she lived in Pennsylvania.
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, she moved to Topeka, Kansas for high school. She lived in several states before settling in Elliottsburg, PA.
Although she was a homemaker most of her life, one of her first jobs was at Lerner Retail Shops, then became a bank teller in Kansas City, Missouri where she thrived. She loved working with the public and had a way with people which helped in her later years when she and Ron were called to Pennsylvania, where they founded Heirloom Ministries. They also worked diligently to bring Christian television to Perry County via television stations channel 10 and channel 12 which she was the most proud of! Her faith was like no other and she would light up when asked to speak about it!
Contributions can be made to Holy Spirit Hospital as they took great care of her in her last days.
