Betty enjoyed watching her kids and grandkids in any sport they participated in.  Her family always came first.  She loved going to the “high country” up the White River.  In 1954, Betty and Ken spent their honeymoon at Adams Lodge and every year after that, they spent their vacation at Marvine Campground until 5 years ago.  She loved camping with her family and friends and biking and hiking.  Betty was also quite a softball player back in her younger days.
