Elizabeth Vierra

Elizabeth Vierra (AKA Betty Goedhart) was born May 2, 1952 in Artesia, California. She resided in Modesto, California for the for the last 45 years of her life. At the age of 71 she passed away.  Her parents, Simon and Jasperina Goedhart preceded her into heaven years ago.

Betty is survived by her daughter, Marianne Goularte, and son Theodore (AKA Teddy) Vierra.  Betty also has two stepdaughters named Ana Butler, and Kristi Howington.  She has two loving grandchildren named Emilee and Cameron Goularte who will miss their Oma dearly.   Betty had a large loving family, she was one of seven siblings.  Her surviving siblings are Gilbert Goedhart, Tanya Hegoas, Rena DeVisser, and Nellie Vian.  Betty now joins her two brothers Simon (AKA Sammy) and Henry Goedhart, who were already in heaven.

Betty was a gentle soul who would pray for any and everyone.  She cared deeply about all things and was a sensitive soul.  She would do anything for her children and could rarely say no.  She was the best Oma and would often treat Emilee and Cameron with unnecessary treats like donuts and soda, before dinner.  She loved anything that had to do with shopping, whether it was shopping on QVC, thrift stores, or even grocery stores. She had a green thumb and loved to grow and nurture roses and geraniums. Her kind and warm heart is what will be remembered and will live on through her children and grandchildren.

Please join us at Burwood Cemetery in Escalon, California on June 8th, 2023 at 10 a.m. for her funeral service.  After the service lunch will be served at the Escalon Sportsman club.
