She loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Fred and Betty loved to travel and were able to see various areas of the country together while visiting family and friends. She enjoyed reading books, putting picture puzzles together, playing cards and board games and was well known for her homemade hot rolls or "biscuits" as Fred called them and taught Fred how to make them also.

Betty was a faithful member of a non-denominational church and also enjoyed attending the Bible Baptist Church in Kahoka. She enjoyed the fellowship at the Clark County Senior Center and never met a stranger. Her sweet smile will be missed by all who knew her.
