Betty Bromiley

Betty Ann Bromiley, 83, of Wenatchee, WA, passed away on July 30, 2022 at her home with her loving husband by her side. She was born February 13, 1939 to Ernest L. and Carrie (Powell) Sims in Bentonville, Arkansas. The family moved to Wenatchee in 1944. Betty attended schools in Wenatchee, graduating with the Wenatchee High School class of 1957. She later studied at Western College of Commerce and Business Management. Betty met the love of her life, Stanley R. "Pete" Bromiley in 1954 at Wenatchee High School. It was love at first sight. They were married on November 3, 1956 and made their home in the Wenatchee Valley. They welcomed the birth of their first child, Pamela Lee, in 1957. She was followed by Michele Lynn, Stanley, Jr., Gary Ernest, Janee Mara and Craig Allen. Betty went to work at Wells and Wade Hardware in 1969. She worked as a bookkeeper, credit manager and office manager until the store closed. She later worked in the office at Sears until her retirement. To know Betty was to love her. She had a smile that would light up any room and the biggest heart that made all who knew her feel loved. She enjoyed quilting, needlepoint, sewing, baking and decorating cakes. She was an avid reader who always had a book in her purse - just in case. Her greatest joy in life was time spent with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and anyone who stopped by to visit on the front porch. Betty is survived by her devoted husband of 65 years, Stanley "Pete" Bromiley; five children: Michele (Bobbie) Woods of Wenatchee, Stanley R. Bromiley, Jr., of Renton, Gary (Jane) Bromiley of Anchorage, AK, Janee Bromiley of Renton and Craig Bromiley of Wenatchee; 16 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and countless nieces and nephews.
