She also enjoyed riding her horse Tony, knitting, waterskiing, tending her beautiful flower garden and golfing.

Betty ran the home and helped on the family fruit farm. She is remembered fondly by many for the years that she ran the fruit stand in front of their home selling cherries, peaches, apples and grapes.
