Betty got her creative and crafting abilities from her father Jerro and she loved to make ceramics, scrapbook and could spend hours making homemade cards using her Cricut and massive stash of scrapbook supplies.

Betty loved to golf and bowl and was a friend to many.  She was always in fashion and could cook better than most.  She loved spending weeks in the summer having her grandchildren come to visit, and played tons of games like cards, dominoes, croquet, and badminton.
