Bette Ione Hinrichs was born September 18, 1928, at Doran, MN to Gilbert and Adeline (Krebs) Meyer. The family moved to Hankinson, ND where she received her formal education. She was baptized in 1938 and was confirmed on June 8, 1947, at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. On June 26, 1945, she married Bernard Hinrichs in Wahpeton. The couple farmed in Grant Township, rural Lidgerwood for 50 years retiring in 1987. They continued to reside on the family farm until Bernard died on April 11, 2003. Bette then moved to Wahpeton where she enjoyed her final years.

She enjoyed her grandchildren who lovingly referred to her as ?Grandma Bette? or simply ?Gram?. She enjoyed cleaning; gardening; flowering; jigsaw puzzles; and visiting with family and friends. Bette was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church. She believed and trusted in the name of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
