Betty grew up in the Gainesboro area and was a graduate of Sulphur Rock High School and of the Baptist faith.

Betty worked as a truck driver for many years and loved being out on the road seeing the country.

Betty loved yard sales, bingo, her cat Punky and her great cooking skills were loved by all of her family and friends. Betty had a strong personality but beneath her toughness, there was a kind heart.
