In 1968, she went abroad to Belgium as a nurse where she met her husband, Roy, also a nurse traveling abroad for the same nursing program. They married on December 21, 1969 in Belgium.
Betty was a loving and faithful wife, mom, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. She did everything with her whole heart; playing the piano, dancing, gardening, praying, singing, laughing, shopping, fashion, nursing, and bowling. You know Betty was involved in creating something by the touch of beauty and flair in the finished piece. She will be deeply missed.
