She also was an RN and worked in the field of nursing for many years.
She is survived by her children, Lorretta (Jeff) Frenton of Newark, Christine (Andy) Crabb of Sugarland, Texas, Robert Arthur "Rob" (Melissa) Jones Jr. of Newark, Stephanie (Tim) Fackler of Millersport; and Ronda (Bob) Wears of Newark; 14 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; her sisters, Karen Burger of Granville, and Judy Metelko of Lewiston, Idaho; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by her grandsons, Zachary Rowe and Christopher Draise; and her brother, Richard Pimm.

After Betty joined the Licking County Arts, we all knew she would be a great contributing artist...we enjoyed her positive attitude and helping ways. Sadly she will be missed by artists and friends who knew her. Sending my wishes for inner peace to her family.

Betty took a chance on me when I first moved to the Houston area and gave me a job at the hospital she worked at - in the Emergency Room. We developed a great friendship over the years and I'm saddened to hear of her passing. What a terrific boss she was to me. I will always be grateful to her for hiring me as I've stayed at that same hospital for more than 25 years.
Betty had a great sense of humor too. When she turned 50, we decorated her office with "Over The Hill" banners and balloons and gave her a "care package" of Geritol and other items for "seniors". She had a good laugh with it all. Those were some fun times and happy memories. I will truly miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
