Betty had a wonderful life. She was a long-time member of the Friendly Garden Club and a fabulous cook. She loved to play cards and was a voracious reader.

She was a world traveler visiting over fifty countries and seven continents. When not tending her flower gardens, she was off riding elephants in Nepal, climbing the pyramids in Egypt, drifting across the Serengeti in a hot-air balloon, base-jumping in Switzerland, watching penguins in Antarctica, strolling the beaches of Puerto Vallarta, or climbing the Andes to visit Machu Picchu. She died at 94 surrounded by her family.
