Betty loved traveling, visiting almost every state along with trips to Japan, Korea, Israel, and much of Europe. An avid golfer, she took up the game after her children left home. Betty's competitive nature served her well winning multiple city and club championships, recording an amazing 6 hole in ones, and creating lifelong Oak Forest friends. As much as she loved being in her yard or on the golf course, she loved her family more. Always the first to call and sing Happy Birthday or jump in the pool with her grandkids. A longtime member of Mobberly Avenue Baptist Church, she loved to cook and all agreed her desserts were the best. She could shop with the best of them, play cards or dominoes still dark and never missed a chance to jump down on the floor to play with her eleven great-grandchildren whom she adored. Betty is survived by her husband Damon, Son Danny and his wife Kay their children, Ashley, Dani ,Zachary and spouses; great-grandchildren Jett, Larkin, Harper, Henry, Libby, Olive, Evan, Kaspar, Marlowe and Kitty; daughter Patty and her children Colin ,Jillian and her husband ; great-grandson Jacob; and daughter-in-law Laura .

The family intends a private memorial to celebrate Betty's amazing life and legacy.
