Betty Bundy

Betty Bundy, passed away on January 6, 2023, in Moses Lake, Washington. Elizabeth "Betty" Louise McDonald, daughter of Donald and Mae McDonald, was born on March 6, 1936, in Davenport, IA. Betty was an incredible person, so loving and supportive to all around her. She was extremely hardworking and was always striving to make a positive impact in the lives of those she loved. As a child, Betty enjoyed horses and participating in the local 4H program. She graduated and continued on to college earning her Bachelor’s Teaching Certificate. She began her teaching career as a 4th grade teacher in Keystone, IA. Betty was adventurous and took a cross country road trip with a girlfriend, and sister, Carol, from IA to the1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, WA with many site-seeing stops along the way. One of these stops included a visit in Moses Lake with cousin “Mac” McDonald and wife Ethel. Mac was instrumental in arranging an interview at Longview Elementary School, where Betty accepted a teaching position for the coming school year. About a year later, Ron returned from the Navy and was attending the same church as Betty where they sang in the choir together. Ron asked Betty on a date, but she declined due to a teachers dance on the same night. Through a series of events, cousin, Mac McDonald convinced Betty to invite Ron to her dance and the stage was set. It didn’t take long before Ron proposed and they were married on August 7, 1965 in Moses Lake. They recently celebrated their 57th anniversary. In the early years of her marriage, Betty relocated to Dutch Harbor, Alaska to provide food and other support to Ron, and his construction crew, as they transformed several deserted military structures into usable commercial buildings. There, they created an infrastructure for Universal Seafoods’ King Crab operations. In the decades that followed, she traveled the world with Ron, on numerous mission trips, to help people in disadvantaged countries. Mexico, Ukraine, Haiti, Kenya, Korea and Russia, are just a few of the places she touched. Ron and Betty also traveled to New Orleans to help disaster victims following Hurricane Katrina. They continued to volunteer their time to help so many people in need, as well as numerous outreach projects in the United States, throughout their marriage. She is survived by her husband, Ron, her youngest brother, John McDonald, and her sister, Carol Mattson; her 4 children, daughter Kristi, husband, Steve Citron, their sons, Matthew and Joshua Citron; daughter Cindy, husband, Sabino Serrato and their 4 children, Lorena, Antonio, Elisa and Gabriela; daughter Jodi, husband, Servando Robledo, their sons, Diego and Mario; son, Troy Bundy, wife, Mary and their children, Jasmine, her husband Daniel Marion, Carson and Wilson.
