While her husband was serving with the army in Germany, Betty stayed with her brothers and sisters helping with their children making special bonds with the many nieces and nephews left in her care.

John and Betty lived in Perry and Ponca City before moving back to Orlando in 1969 to raise their family. Betty was a lifetime member of the Orlando Christian Church attending in her early adolescent and returning to her home church when she moved back to Orlando.

She was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Betty enjoyed cooking, crocheting, and quilting. Betty loved her children and grandchildren. She supported them with her prayers, attended ball games, and many other school functions.
