David, Betty Jean

Paul moved the family to Bakersfield in 1947 to pursue work in the oilwell servicing business following his older brother's lead. In 1951, Paul and Betty met Bob and Helen Grogan and began a friendship that would last a lifetime. Betty had a second daughter, Sherrie, on July 3, 1961 and a granddaughter, Natalie, on August 30, 1988.

She will also be lovingly remembered by her dear friends of 56 years, The Grogans and their family, as well as many acquaintances and friends in her church family.
