Bettie was a fun loving energetic woman who never met a stranger. She loved baseball and was a devoted Kansas City Royals fan. Bettie was very talented with needlework and embroidered a number of quilts and other items that will be cherished by her family. She worked for a number of years as an operator for Southwestern Bell. She then went to work as a grocery checker and worked for a variety of grocery stores in the area for the next thirty years. Upon retirement she went to work as a care companion for the elderly and was very proud of the fact that she worked right up until her health failed at age 83.
