Betty worked at Guide Lamp on the early 1940's until she started a family and became a stay at home mom. She later worked at J.C. Penney in Anderson for 15 years. She loved vegetable gardening and flower gardening and was a dedicated farm wife to Clint.
Betty was a baptized Christian and served Jesus in the Frankton Christian Church until her Alzheimer's diagnosis. She was active in Sunday School, the Dorcas Circle, and a faithful alto in the church choir for many years.
