Betty and Floyd raised their children in Seymour before relocating to central Florida (Orlando, Zellwood and Tavares) where they lived for over 8 years before returning to Indianapolis in 2006, to be near family.

Betty enjoyed golf, bowling, ceramics, quilting/sewing, cooking (and cooking shows), listening to music and a good game of euchre.  Betty also had a deep love of animals.  Dogs were her favorite.  Usually there were two in the household and would often be found beside her.
