Betty was a 1973 graduate of Fort Recovery High School. Before becoming a mother, Betty worked for Fort Recovery Lumber. While raising her own family, she also babysat for many children. Aside from working for Jay County Schools for 24 years as a teacher's aide, Betty was also a devout mother and farm wife. In fact, her faith and family were the most important thing to her. She loved supporting her children in all they did, helping Charles with bookkeeping for the farm, and in recent years, watching her grandchildren participate in their extracurricular activities. Betty's competitive side came out when she played card games and board games with her family. Betty's heart was a giving heart. If someone called and needed something, Betty was there to lend a hand.
She was a member of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Bryant, where she was a part of the Ladies Sodality and the funeral luncheon committee. Betty was also a member of the Fort Recovery American Legion Auxiliary. In her free time, Betty took pride in her flower and vegetable gardens, often canning much of her produce and sharing it with her family. If she wasn't canning, she could be found baking something sweet for them.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Bryant, Indiana, with Father Peter Logsdon celebrating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
