Betty Ann Domask

Betty Ann Domask age 86 of Manawa, Wisconsin, fell asleep peacefully on December 4, 2025, and woke up with Jesus. She was surrounded by her son (Steve), daughter-in-law (Karen), and foster daughter (Gladys) at the Manawa Community Living Center.

Betty was born on September 7, 1939, in Clintonville, Wisconsin, the daughter of John and Della Tagliapetra. After graduating high school, she moved to Milwaukee where she attended college. Betty worked in many different fields until discovering her passion for nutrition. She spent most of her life sharing and selling Shaklee products, believing deeply in helping others live healthier lives.

Betty was the proud mother of two sons, Steve and Danny. Although her first marriage did not last, her life took a beautiful turn when she met the love of her life, Richard “Ricky” Domask, in 1979. They married in 1984. Together, they opened their home and hearts to more than 100 foster children and adults with various needs, offering stability, compassion, and the kind of love that changes lives.

Full of energy and joy, Betty had a heart of pure gold and a smile to match. She was a spitfire. She never met a stranger—every person she encountered became an opportunity to share her love for Jesus and her hope that they would one day meet again in heaven.

She is survived by her son Steven Krachtt Sr. (Karen) of Manawa; her foster daughter Gladys (Kevin) of Greenfield; grandchildren Steven (Mariah), Amanda (Mitch), Kobi (Jazz), Grace (Cayden), and Tyler; and many great-grandchildren who adored her.

Betty was preceded in death by her beloved husband Richard (Ricky) Domask; her parents, John and Della Tagliapetra; her sister, Lorrina Potter; and her grandson, Michael Krachtt.

Betty lived a life of faith, service, and boundless love—and every life she touched is better because of her.
