Betty was an excellent seamstress. She learned to sew at an early age and made clothes for herself, her kids, and grandkids. Stefanie entered several pageants and Betty would make her dresses and formals. During a Miss Jonesboro pageant a designer was interested in who made the dress and wanted to copy her design. Wayne was an Eagle Scout and as he earned his badges she took great pride in sewing them on his uniform. She found time to bake birthday and wedding cakes for her family.
