Elizabeth T. Gross 1926 - 2009 Betty was born Oct 22, 1926 in St. Louis, Mo to Stanley and Helen Kilfoyle. She grew up in the city knowing all the sights and sounds of an urban environment. She graduated from Hadley Technical High School in St Louis. She met her husband Carl at the USO club in February of 1945. She visited Idaho with Carl in 1947, got a real taste of the West, and fell in love with it. They married in 1948 and lived in St. Louis. In 1955 their growing family of mom, dad and four kids moved to Boise, and then after moving to Teton Street they added two more to the family. Her love for Carl and her children was always apparent. She taught her children to be responsible citizens and to be compassionate and caring members of their community. Her ability in the kitchen was unequaled and mealtimes were events not to be missed. Betty lived 82 wonderful years, she passed away on July 23, 2009 in Boise. Betty is survived by her husband, Carl, her sister Kathy, and her children Tom, Sue, Carl, Steve, Matt and Mary and their respective spouses, 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
