Betty Marilyn (Adamson) Prigge, age 91, of Byron passed away peacefully at home on Thursday August 17, 2023 surrounded by family.

Betty was born to Paul and Mildred (Mahon) Adamson on January 10, 1932 on the family farm near Byron, Minnesota.  Betty attended Olmsted County School District #26, a one room rural school for eight years and then went to Lourdes High School in Rochester where she graduated in 1950.

On September 26, 1953 she married David Prigge, the love of her life, at St John's Catholic Church in Rochester.  They lived in Byron where they raised their five children. David and Betty purchased Midway Equipment, east of Byron in 1970 and Betty worked there as the bookkeeper for fifteen years until the business was sold.
