Betty enjoyed spending quiet time with family, watching game shows, keeping up with the news of the day on TV or in the paper and reading the Bible or a good book.

Betty enjoyed decorating her house with many found treasures from garage sales and thrift stores and taking special care to display them.

She planted many flowers and plants around her home in her earlier years, finding new and exciting varieties that were always brightly colored and fragrant. She enjoyed looking through binoculars out her window watching the farmers in their fields and all kinds of nature, such as birds, deer, squirrels and the like.

Betty enjoyed an old-fashioned when eating out or a beer with pizza, having a slice of strawberry cheesecake, roasting a few marshmallows over a stove flame or some Oreo cookies with a glass
