Betty Ruth (Ommundson) Arth 
Resident of Oakland

Betty Ruth (Ommundson) Arth passed away peacefully on July 5th, 2007 
with her family at her side. Born in Alameda at the Tennant�s Maternity 
Home on October 5th, 1935, she lived her entire life in the Bay Area and 
was a lifetime member of Sequoyah Community Church in Oakland. Betty 
is survived by her loving husband, George of 54 years; and children, Linda, 
George and Ron, and their spouses, Norm, Judy and Teri. Betty also had 
many grandchildren, Brian, Rache1 and John Peterson, Allison and John 
Mitchell, George, Michelle, Chris, Carrie and Kelly Arth and three 
great-granddaughters, Ashley Mitchell, Audrey and Emma Peterson. Betty is 
also survived by her brother, Andrew Munson; and several nieces and 
nephews. She was preceded in death by her brother, Paul; and her parents, 
Chris anti Ruth Ommundson. 

Betty enjoyed traveling the world with her husband George, actively 
participating in her church and spending time with her many grandchildren. 
A gracious and hospitable person, Betty opened her home to countless 
friends and family over the years, and loved to entertain. Although she 
will be incredibly missed, we know that she is with the Lord now and waiting 
for the day we will all be reunited in Heaven. 

Family and friends are invited to celebrate her life at a viewing on Thursday, 
July 12th from 6 to 8 p.m.  A service will be held on Friday, July 13th at 10 a.m. 
with interment and reception to follow. Both events will be held at the Chapel 
of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Avenue, Oakland.
