Betty and her twin Jo Ann Crawford Fox (White Chapel Cemetery, Gladstone MO) were born in Iowa City Iowa.
Jo Ann married young and raised four children.
It took Betty a while longer to find Dave, the love of her life, and to marry, only to lose him shortly after when he was killed in battle. Betty pursued a career in nursing. She never recovered from Dave's death, but eventually met and married Ed Vizoscki. They shared a passion for fishing. Betty was widowed again, when Ed's boat capsized on the Kansas River while night fishing.
When health problems made it impossible to continue nursing, Betty turned to the garment industry. She was a skilled seamstress in the factory, and at home where she produced beautiful quilts and novelty items.
She married a few more times, and at the time of her death, and for several years prior, she was married to Clyde Nickell, living in Brookfield MO. She died at the regional hospital in Kirksville MO.
Clyde, unbeknownst to Betty's family, had her cremated and reportedly scattered her ashes at her favorite fishing spot. No funeral, no service, no marker, no obit in the paper, nothing. Betty had told me that when she died, she didn't want to leave any trace behind. But when her older sister died, we decided to put Betty on the same stone, to be memorialized in the cemetery where their mother is buried. She is not really buried there, but this is where she should have been buried.
