Betty lived and worked in the Cedar Falls area until her and Moe moved to Rush Lake, Minnesota. Betty worked at Valley Park Lanes for many years. They used to say she moved so fast that her feet never hit the floor! She would "fly" instead of walk.
When they moved to Minnesota they spent many happy years fishing, playing cards, going to garage sales and they truly enjoyed life on the lake. Betty loved spending time with her family and friends.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents; first husband Curtis & her second husband Moe; her sister Beverly Boyd & her brother Bud Green; her two granddaughters Lisa & Danielle Dengler.

She is survived by her daughters Jo Baker-Caffero (JP) of Salmon, ID &Valari Szall (Frank) of Florissant, CO; 4 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren and 7 great- great grandchildren. She will be truly missed by her family and all who loved her.
