As children Betty and her brother, S. Lee were met with many challenges. Their inner strength in early childhood and adolescence proved to be the catalyst that gave them the drive to prevail and succeed. A sense of purpose, never quitting, has made the whole world of better place, especially for their loved ones.
After Betty married her first love, she and the young family traveled to many places during WWII. Arriving in Richland, WA when her husband began his work with the Richland Police Dept. and eventually with General Electric/Battelle Northwest Memorial Institute.
With Betty's un-quenching drive to always excel, she continued her education academically, professionally and creatively. Was always detail oriented and sought perfection at home and in her career. She retired from Hanford Environmental Health Foundation after 20 years and received Retiree of the Year Recognition. Stayed active with HEHF Retiree Volunteer groups for many years and received other awards for her contributions. In her spare time she played the piano, sang with the women's city choir, called "The Treble Clef". Took up the drums and trombone for awhile. Loved to dance with her husband. A Girl Scout leader, a landscaper & gardener. When time allowed she even bowled on a league. Always enjoyed traveling to new and historic places.
Betty and Lee have nine grandchildren,(2 are deceased), eleven great grandchildren, and five great, great grandchildren as of 2015.
Betty Jean is the maternal granddaughter of Frederick Clark Smith and Sarah Ann Griffin.
And the fraternal granddaughter of Joseph Auttor Turnbow(1869-1957) and Emolyn Louise Lyon(1876-1960). Note: Emolyn was the 1st girl in Betty Jean's family to graduate from College.
She is the great-granddaughter of a Prominent Pioneer Family; Robert Franklin Turnbow & Sarah Ann Smith arriving in the Salt Lake valley and survived the long and dangerous,historic journey on a wagon train and pulling handcarts.
She has relatives that arrived on the Mayflower, direct ancestors (patriots) that fought during the French and Indian War, The Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War and with highly decorated family members that fought during WWI, WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. It's easy to see that the fighting spirit during conflict and peace, and the passion to make a positive mark in the face of all odds, is in her DNA. To prevail with honor in word and deed.
