Betty was very active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings. She loved and served many people everywhere she went. She especially loved genealogy, and was able to travel the U.S., Australia, Scotland, Ireland, and England discovering facts and documents relating to her family history. She was devoted to going to the temple and doing the work of the Lord. She was an amazing cake decorator and sometimes decorated wedding cakes for her friends and clown cakes for her children. She was a voracious reader and loved to sew. She made clothes for her children through-out their growing up years. She loved to crochet and made each of her grandchildren at least one receiving blanket and sewed at least one hooded towel.

She was beloved by anyone who knew her, and will be sorely missed.
