Grace Elizabeth Lopeman
Obituary
Bette, 89, passed away April 6, 2023. Bette was a long-time resident of Windsor and a staple at Healdsburg High School for over 30 years. She touched the lives of many students as a teacher's aide, coach and statistician for every sporting event she could attend. She was married to her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Richard "Dick" Lopeman, for 45 years before he preceded her in death. She will be remembered for her quick wit, infectious laugh, soft spot for her dogs and love of Bette Boop. She is also preceded in death by her son, Kevin. Bette was a sports enthusiast, a passionate SF Giants, 49ers fan, avid knitter and never met a slot machine she didn't like. She loved family and attended every event she could. She is survived by her three children, Susan, Chuck, Shari (Mark), ten grandchildren whom she adored and eight great-grandchildren that she could never see enough pictures of.
A graveside burial at Santa Rosa Memorial Park will be held on April 21, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. and will be open to anyone that would like to attend. A celebration of life will follow at the Holiday Inn in Windsor from 4:00 - 6:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Humane Society in Healdsburg.
