Betty was preceded in death by her husband Bill, her mother Vada, her father Narvel, her brothers Robert, James and Richard, her sister Ruth, and her daughter Juliann. She is survived by her sister Mary K., her daughter Frances, her son Christopher, her grandson Alexander, her granddaughters Ella, Anne and Sophia, sons-in-law Tom, Tom, and Daniel, and nieces and nephews.
