Betty Johnson Gee, 73, of Lake Park, MN, died unexpectedly on Thursday, March 24, at her home.
She was Born in Pueblo, Colorado, on December 21, 1942, to Charles and Nina Rockwood. She grew up and raised three of her five children in Denver, before making Lake Park, Minnesota, her home.

In 1995 she met her future husband, Fred Gee, and became a widow in 2001.
Throughout the years she was known to many as “mom” or “grandma” and during her life became a safe haven for hundreds of kids. She was the most caring and compassionate person you could ever know and even though she is gone she will never be forgotten.
