She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Betty was active in bowling and golf in her younger years. She loved sitting in the bleachers at ballparks from California to New York cheering on her favorite baseball teams. Betty was an avid reader and enjoyed sharing her thoughts on each book she read.
