Betty was born at Giltner, Nebraska on Dec. 19, 1923, to Ewen and Jessie Mettlen Chard.
She married Elver Nielsen Aug. 26, 1941. Their two children, Gary and Bill, soon followed. They lived and worked in Seneca, Oregon for two years and then moved to their farm southwest of Nyssa in 1945. She devoted the next segment of her life to raising her children, working on the farm alongside of Elver and being active in her beloved, Owyhee Community Church. She was very close to her two sisters, Patty and Peggy, and her brothers, Jack and Ken.
Elver died March 15, 1984. She then married Ralph Tuttle, of Boise, ID. Through this union she added another wonderful son, Bruce Tuttle, of Boise. She and Ralph were able to go on many outings together before he passed away also.
While living in Boise she attended Cole Community Church and made wonderful friends through her Keenagers and New Beginnings groups. She was bold in telling her friends and family about her relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. She wanted them to know that Jesus died on the cross for there sins and was resurrected on the third day so we could all be assured of eternal life. She encouraged others to ask Jesus into their heart and grow in relationship with Him through studying the Bible. She knew she could not work her way to heaven but instead, she was first saved by Jesus and then the good works would follow.
She taught Sunday School and Bible School at Owyhee Community Church and was involved in Stonecroft Christian Ministries for many years in Ontario, OR.
