She was the third child and first daughter of ten children. Betty attended Peetz schools, graduating High School in 1949, and went on to study piano at Sherwood Music School in Chicago, IL.

They celebrated 67 happy years of marriage together, and had 5 children; Gregory, Kent, Keta, Tracy and Kelle. The family moved from Sidney, NE to Sterling, CO in 1966.
