Betty was born and raised in Ohio, and after she and Donald were married, they farmed in London, Ohio for several years. In 1962, the family moved to their farm near Falcon, Missouri and made their home. Through the years, Betty was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family. In 1967, she and Donald moved closer to Lebanon.
Early in her life, Betty followed the Methodist faith.
In her spare time she enjoyed crocheting and spending time with her family. She loved her family dearly and especially enjoyed all of her grandchildren.
Betty was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her ninety-six years.
