Born on October 3, 1941, Betty was raised in California, where she cultivated a strong foundation of values that would guide her throughout her life.

Betty was a committed member of the Church of Jesus Christ, where she found strength and community throughout her life. Her faith was a guiding light, fostering connections with those around her and establishing a legacy of kindness and service.
