Betty's family moved to Narka, Kansas shortly after her birth. While living there her mother became ill and passed away at an early age.
When in her teens, Betty moved to a little farm on the edge of Belleville. This would be where she graduated from high school in 1946.
She worked at Arbuthnot Drug store and this is where she met Garold Allen. They were married on October 8, 1950 and made their home on a farm just north of Courtland, Kansas. In 1966 they welcomed their son Michael into their home and a year later their daughter Michele came along. Betty enjoyed a variety of things over the years from being a great homemaker and cook, selling Avon products to working at the Courtland Vet Clinic. In 1991 she and Garold retired from the farm and moved into Courtland. She had many hobbies like playing cards with friends and neighbors, bingo, and going to the casinos (sometimes twice a week). Betty passed from this life to be with Garold in the early morning hours on her birthday Saturday, February 7, 2015 surrounded by family and loved ones at the Republic County Hospital, Belleville, Kansas. Betty will be forever remembered by her son; daughter and her husband; three grandchildren; five great grandchildren; three sisters; and one brother and his wife.
She was preceded in death by her parents; in-laws; husband Garold in 2012; great grandson Cayden Dunstan; sister Laura, and brother Stanley; also aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
Memorial services were held at the United Methodist Church, Courtland, Kansas. Inurnment followed the service at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, rural Courtland. Betty chose direct cremation, there will be no visitation.
