Betty Ellen (Nissen) Crittenden, youngest of four daughters, to Elmer Nissen and Nora (Larson) Nissen, was born May 3, 1934, on a farm in Union County, Ia. Betty attended school in Afton and graduated from Afton High School with the class of 1951. Following graduation, Betty worked as a secretary for The Good Year Tire and Rubber Company in Des Moines from 1951-1954. On June 25, 1954, Betty was united in marriage to William P. Crittenden at the Methodist Church in Fort Worth, T.X. To this union, two sons were born, Jack and Steven. While Bill was stationed in Fort Worth during his service with the Air Force, Betty worked as a secretary for an oil company and later at the Fort Worth Army Depot. In December 1956, Bill was honorably discharged from the Air Force after four years and they moved the family back to Afton where they started a 38-year long career in farming. Betty helped Bill on the farm while also working as a secretary for the Methodist Church in Afton and later for the ASCS office in Creston. In 1985, Betty began to slowly develop Multiple Sclerosis. Bill and Betty retired from farming and moved to their new home west of Afton in 1994. Betty was a member of the Afton Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday school and helped with Bible School. Betty was also involved in 4-H Leadership, Elks and a star member of the Masonic Women's Club. Betty is survived by her husband, of 66 years, Bill; two sons, Jack (Cecy) and Steve; granddaughter, Kayli (fiancé Blake); grandson, Chad (Brenda); great-granddaughters, Kendra and Josie; along with many nieces, nephews and a host of friends.
