Mrs. Betty Nieman of Cedarburg passed away early Monday, May 16, 2022 at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton. She was 91 years old. Betty was born in Milwaukee on October 1, 1930, daughter of Anton and Margaret Behling Brahm. She attended local schools, graduating from Mercy High School before earning her degree in Occupational Therapy from Mount Mary College. On April 24, 1954 Betty was united in marriage with Edwin Nieman Jr. at St. Ann's church in Milwaukee. The couple settled in Mequon where they ran a small construction company. Betty later taught at Ozaukee Middle school in Fredonia, mainly 5th grade, retiring in 1991. She desires her legacy to be her family, and her passion for horses. She started small with horses for her young children. Betty and Edwin built a small stable, and later built a larger 30 horse stable known as Cambrian Farm. Betty worked hard to ensure that her stable was affordable and well run. She wanted everyone who loved horses to be able to enjoy them, regardless of their financial resources. Edwin preceded Betty in death in 1984. In 1994 Betty sold the stable and moved to Jackson, and later to Florida before moving back to Jackson to be closer to family. She later found a home at Lasata Crossings in Cedarburg enjoying excellent care, and companionship with the residents there. Betty is survived by her five children: Robert (Jeanne) Nieman of Rubicon, Maripat Nieman of Lomira, Thomas (Kathryn) Nieman of Mequon, Nancy (Anthony) La Macchia also of Mequon, and Kathleen (Patty Kestell) Nieman of Germantown.
