Betty Lindeman was born on April 10, 1933, near Mound City, SD, to Alfred and Verna (Johnson) Gunderson. She was raised on her parent's farm in Campbell County. Betty attended grade school at Amundson school in Campbell County and graduated from Glenham High School in 1951. While in school she participated in athletics, glee club, was a DAR candidate, and co-valedictorian.

On June 28, 1952, Betty married Albert Lindeman at the United Congregational Church in Mobridge. After Albert's father's death, they bought the family farm. It was a team effort running the farm until they retired. Betty always had a garden and ran machinery when needed. She also worked at the Mobridge Hospital and was a legal secretary for Ivan Bormann. Betty was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, TLC women's group and also worked at the annual Mobridge Hospital Bazaar. They moved off the farm and into Mobridge in 1995. In July of 2016 they moved into Prairie Sunset Village in Mobridge and in June of 2017 they moved into Elm Crest Manor in New Salem.

Betty enjoyed embroidering, cross stitching, bowling, gardening where she raised vegetables and strawberries, pickling and canning. Her pickles were enjoyed and sought by many. Betty also enjoyed playing nickels, a card game she taught her grandchildren to play and loved playing with them. It was unusual from her not to win. Her family chalked it up to the Gunderson luck. She also liked to cook and bake. She liked to try new recipes and her family members were the lucky taste testers. Betty always had a treat to be enjoyed for those that stopped in. Her home often smelled of fresh baked bread, which she served with her homemade strawberry jelly she made. It gave her great happiness to have a houseful of family. She loved her grandchildren and they brought her much joy. Two stepping and waltzing with Albert also brought her a lot of joy.

Betty is survived by her husband of 67 years, Albert, son, Lyle (Nancy) Lindeman of Mobridge, daughter, Deb (Wayne) Helvik of Hazen, ND, grandchildren, Jenn Lindeman of Austin, TX, Scott Lindeman of Austin, TX, Ashley Lindeman of Black Hawk, SD, Jess (Janae) Helvik of Fargo, ND, Jenna (BJ) Etzold of Bismarck, ND, Preston Helvik of Bismarck, ND, great grandchildren, Zaidyn Lindeman, Noah Helvik, Lucas Helvik, Boden Etzold, and Ingram Etzold, and brother, Raymond Dean (Virginia) Gunderson of Hot Springs, AR.
