She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Henry Bull; and one sister, Priscilla Chicoine.
Betty was raised on a family farm near Wayne, NE. She attended Wayne High School and then took correspondence courses at Wayne State Teachers College and taught all the elementary grades in a one-room country school for three years. Then she lived in Sioux City, IA where she held several different clerical positions. After Henry was discharged from WWII they married on May 19, 1946 in the Methodist Church at Wayne, NE. Betty held several clerical positions while her husband was in college. It was this additional subsistence that made it possible for Henry to obtain professional degrees in agriculture.
Betty was greatly involved in Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts as well as her church. She taught Sunday school classes, and was secretary for her Church. Betty assisted in several duties at local grade and high schools while their children were in school. She was active in organizing several bridge groups and tournaments, and an active member of the Eastern Star branch of the Masonic Lodge.
