She had a love of gardening and keeping her yard immaculate. She collected angels and was called Grandma Angel from some of her grandchildren. Some of her great-grandchildren just called her Great a€" this always brought a smile to her face. She enjoyed the outdoors, fishing and hunting. Betty loved to go dancing and listen to the bands at the Eagles and the Elks with her many friends; this earned her the name of Wild Grandma.

In the last years of Betty''s life she traveled to Apache Junction, Arizona to live during the winter months with her good friend, Neil Sniggs. They traveled to many different places and made many friends together as they took care of each other.
