Betty Spranger, 87, of Black Creek, passed away on April 28, 2020, at Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Seymour. She was born April 12, 1933, daughter of the late Oscar and Sylvia (Haver) Kappell.
On May 19, 1951, she married Eugene "Gramps" Spranger. The couple moved to Appleton and later settled on their farm in Shiocton.

Over the years Betty worked various jobs to help support her family. Later in life she took on the role of foster parent; she was a foster parent to over 60 children. Many of them would come and go, and some became like her own children.
Betty is survived by three daughters: Nancy Spranger, Clintonville; Sue Fischer, Appleton; and Kathy (Randy) Schmidt, Black Creek; three sons: Bill Spranger, Appleton; Jim (Cheryl) Spranger, Clintonville; and Eugene Jr. "Smiley" Spranger, Black Creek; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, and numerous foster children; sisters-in-law: Kathy Kappell, Carol Spranger, Shirley Salerno, and Reiko Spranger, all of Appleton.
Betty was preceded in death by her sisters: Marge Rollo and Beverly Kappell; brothers: Donald Kappell and Robert "Whitey" (Joyce) Kappell; brothers-in-law: Donald Spranger, Myron (Helen) Spranger; and one foster daughter, Sue Knott.
