Betty Gho was one of the sweetest persons I’ve ever met. I was much younger growing up but such fond memories of her when she’d bring the boys to the Woodfield Club when I was lifeguard during the summers. I taught her to dive one summer and she always so proud of that feat! Heaven has gained an angel. Prayers for Vernon, Brad, Mathew and all the family.

My deepest sympathy to Vernon Jr., Brad and Matthew. How many wonderful memories we share. Betty Gho and I were born the same month and remained lifelong friends. I remember how kind she was to me after Mother’s death. I would pull into town and there she was. Dear, dear old friends are the best. Sail high Betty Gho. We’ll meet again.

So saddened to hear about Betty Gho’s passing….I have many fond memories of her that I will always treasure….My heart goes out to all of you.
My condolences to the entire Oakley family.
Betty Gho and her family were from LaCrosse and even though she was younger, we were all close knit and supportive of each family. Her mother and my mother taught school together. I am so sorry for Vernon and his sons in the loss of his wife, mother, and grandmother of the family.

It is so hard to say goodbye to a life-long friend, yet her memory will be with us forever. Vernon, my deepest sympathies. As we always ended our talks, I love you.

This is such sad news. She was a beautiful person inside and out and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. May God be with each member of her family in the months ahead without her. Lots of love from my home to yours.
Thinking about you during this difficult time. Kindly,
Kim Clark
My sincere condolences to all the family.
Will be missed
Betty Gho has been a part of my life for 37 years. I always felt welcome in her home and we shared many laughs (and some good political discussions later in life). My best to Vernon, Brad and Matthew through this tough time. She will be missed.
