Early Life: Betty was born October 6, 1925, in Delta, Utah, to Charles Avon Barney and Vera Johansen Barney.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: On June 1, 1948, Betty married Ralph L. Rollins in the Manti Utah LDS Temple and together they raised three sons and a daughter. The success and happiness of her loved ones was her highest priority in life. After Ralph's death in 2004, Betty married Garth Cahoon in November 2008 and they enjoyed a wonderful life together until his passing in November 2012. Betty had a very youthful spirit and a love for life that was contagious. She had a genuine love for all she knew and tried hard to make them happy. Betty had a passion for creating beautiful things. She worked tirelessly to maintain a beautiful yard and home. As an accomplished seamstress, she sewed beautiful heirloom dresses at Christmas and Easter for her daughter and granddaughters. She was always impeccably dressed and brought her unique style and grace to every event. Blessed with a love of music and culture, she developed her musical talents, becoming proficient in piano, organ and marimba. She helped each of her children learn to play an instrument and her family often provided musical programs with a string trio and vocal selections. Her children's and grandchildren's musical talents are a legacy to her. As a music teacher for many years, Betty taught hundreds of children to play the piano and had annual recitals at her home. She was frequently called upon to accompany choirs, soloists and other performers throughout her life. She enjoyed participating in women's organizations such as Sorosis, Symphony Guild and BYU Women. Betty was devoted to the LDS Church and served as Relief Society President in the Edgemont 9th Ward, Stake Relief Society President in the Edgemont Stake and the BYU 11th Stake. Living the motto that Charity Never Faileth, she impacted the lives of many for good. Because of her musical talent, Betty served nearly continuously as an organist or pianist in her wards from the time she was 12 until the age of 85.
