Martha Betker
86, of Custer, went peacefully to heaven on Friday, November 9, 2012, at Ministry St. Joseph Hospital, Marshfield. Martha was born on September 30, 1926 in the town of Franzen.
She was the daughter of the late John Davidowski & Mary (Cychosz) Davidowski-Delikowski. She grew up on a farm in the town of Reid with her mother, siblings and step-father, Mike Delikowski Sr.

Martha enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, family and friends. She also enjoyed playing cards and going to the casino with her daughter. She will be deeply missed.
The family would like to thank Ministry St. Joseph's CCU & Palliative Care nurses for the wonderful care given to Martha during her brief stay. Special thanks to Sister Mary Ellen Diermeier for her visits and prayers, it was greatly appreciated. Mom I Love You!
