Betty was a homemaker who enjoyed raising her kids and taking care of the home, including assisting her husband with the farm. She loved kids so much that she even went back to school, and graduated from SOSU. She taught at Big 5 Head Start, Choctaw Nation Headstart in Bennington, and Grant School. After leaving education, she worked for Walmart. She enjoyed traveling with the Roadrunners in the Baptist Association. Some of Betty’s favorite pastimes were reading, working in her flower garden, and spending time with her Shih-Tzu, Bella. She was also a great seamstress that could alter or fix anything.
