Betty and Dwight traveled extensively across the continents. Her favorite trip was a safari in Africa observing large game animals. She also enjoyed snowmobiling and fishing. She loved renovating and living in a 1914 farm house and making awesome pies for her family. Betty instilled in her children and grandchildren a relentless drive that has served them so well in life.

Betty was an active member of St. Luke's Lutheran Church and was a relentless fund raiser by organizing chicken barbeques to help finance a new building built in 1978.
