Betty worked as a Draft Board Clerk and Bank Teller before working and retiring from Amway Corporation. Betty was an avid bowler in her younger days, loved to square dance, tinker in her garden, play cards, and go to the casino. Most of all, she loved spending time with her grandchildren whether it was attending their recitals or sporting events or spoiling them with treats at much loved sleepovers where sometimes they were subjected to her love of The Lawrence Welk Show. Betty never lost her sharp wit and mind, and sense of humor.
