Betty Lou Muenchow was born August 18, 1972 to Gene and Bonnie (Shaw) Muenchow in Owatonna. She graduated from Owatonna Public High School in 1990. Shortly after graduation, Betty was united in marriage to Wally Kilgore in Owatonna and their union was blessed with three children. Their family relocated to New Ulm where Betty worked at J&R Schugel and MVTL in the accounting department. When Betty was not working, she enjoyed riding motorcycle, going fishing, watching football, and being outside with the butterflies. Most of all, Betty adored all the time she was able to spend with her grandbabies. Although her time here was short, she left a lifetime of memories that will live on in all who knew her. Blessed be her memory.
