She was a 1949 graduate of Rising Sun High School and later attended Goldey Beacom College. She worked as a drive thru teller at the National Bank of Rising Sun and was a member of the Legion Ladies Auxiliary. Many knew Betty as a constant nurturer and she shared unconditional love to all. She was known for her ease in frequent conversations even with total strangers. Her door was always open and all were welcome. Betty had a great sense of humor and was an exceptional cook. She was a beast at Chinese checkers and was a mail order queen. Later in life, her favorite thing was to play card games on her iPad. She adored her grandchildren and saw them as her pride and joy.
