Betty graduated from Smithville High School with the Class of 1947. She married the love of her life, George A. Brown, on April 22, 1948. Together they were blessed with a daughter, Wanda.

She had strong Christian beliefs, and she would give her opinion on what was right and what was wrong in this life.
