Betty was born Sept. 8, 1941, in Grand Island, the daughter of Edward and Mary (Donovan) Assendrop. She was raised on a farm, near St. Libory and attended District No. 39 rural school and then St. Libory's Catholic School and graduated from Grand Island Central Catholic in 1960. She then attended College of St. Mary and St. Catherine's School of nursing in Omaha. She was the vice-president and valedictorian of her class and received her nursing degree in 1964. She began her nursing career at Bergan Mercy Hospital in Omaha and St. Francis Hospital in Grand Island. She was united in marriage to Gary C. Schwenk on Feb. 27, 1965, at St. Libory's Catholic Church. The couple were blessed with three daughters, for which Betty took a break from nursing to raise her family. She then returned to her career spending 27 years at the Nebraska Veterans Home in Grand Island, caring for the veterans and their families, with a deep caring respect for their sacrifices. She was a lifelong member of St. Libory's Catholic Church, and was involved in the Altar Society, CCD teacher, D.C.C.W. past officer of the Grand Island deanery, and participated in several prayer and share groups.

In later years she experienced great delight in birdwatching and long Sunday drives. She was a devoted wife and nurturing and selfless mother and grandmother. Her deep faith was evident in her radical passion for the welfare of others and she sought to pass this legacy to her family.
