Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Friend, Elizabeth “Betty” Ann Little, a woman who was dearly loved, passed away early on Thursday, June 12, 2025 at the age of 93.
Betty was the youngest of six children, born December 25, 1931 to Clifton W. Boesel and Laura Wilhemena (Kawell) Boesel. She was preceded in death by her parents, her five siblings, their spouses, and her husband of 45 years, Charles Robert “Bob” Little. Betty is survived by her only child, Jeffrey Scott (Jean) Little, and grandchildren Erica Little, Robert (Christina) Little, and Emelia Little.
Betty and Bob met at the young ages of 19 and 20, married on September 1, 1951 at the Glenwood Lutheran Church in Toledo. They moved to Ann Arbor following the birth of their son where they lived for almost a decade and later moved to Saline where she lived until 2025. Entertaining and hosting was central to their lives.
Betty was an accomplished cook and her cherished recipes are often sought after to this day. They enjoyed traveling with friends near and far. Betty’s bright smile always brought a spark of fun to social gatherings; she could make everyone laugh. An avid reader and sports fan, she also enjoyed playing her organ, bowling, playing cards, watching her ‘stories’ and visiting with her many dear friends.
Her grandchildren were her true joy. She always wanted to hear about their adventures and lovingly made sure they had a little extra money for their gas tanks. Her grandkids fondly remember how special Betty made their Christmas, especially opening the cherished stockings each year. A favorite house in the neighborhood on Halloween - and a bit of a sweet tooth herself - Betty always handed out King sized candy bars.
Cremation has taken place. Burial will take place in the Lodi Township Cemetery at a later date where Betty will be laid to rest with her husband Bob. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Betty’s name may be made to Arbor Hospice, 2366 Oak Valley Dr, Ann Arbor, MI 48103 or at (https://arborhospice.org/). The family will host a private, small gathering at a future date.

Cloudy , with a high of 80 and low of 61 degrees. Cloudy during the morning, clear for the afternoon and evening,
No questions about the lack of inspections is alarming
Not to worry. I’m sure Ali will share her extensive knowledge of this subject (or any other subject for that matter) and will remind us that the city can do no wrong and that this situation is not due to negligence of any kind by the city!
Sorry you feel only those looking to condemn others and view situations in the most negative light possible even absent facts should be heard from.
And yet we need a lazy river, gathering places and other unnecessary things??? The city can’t supply us with clean water and now maybe no water at all. How does this even make any sense? City Government continues to fail Saline taxpayers! Maybe we need to hire more consultants and spend even more money 🤪.
Not a great situation and not mad at the City. City administrators have done their job. Well 7 was introduced and under construction to meet the needs of the City.
You obviously think the city bears no responsibility ever for anything! That’s ok. You can continue to point fingers, deny accountability and make excuses but what I know is that when I pay my water bill it’s made out to “The City of Saline” so as far as I’m concerned the buck ultimately stops there!
So has the rec center been included in reducing water usage? How about the 4 car wash businesses?
I would like to hear more about that point. Seems very valid . I assume they are clear to use as much as they wish while we are told to use less.
The rec center sent out emails asking members to take either brief showers or wait until they get home.
