Betty lived in the Morton area where she and Archie raised Tennessee Walking Horses for many years. They moved to Riverton in 1968, but continued raising horses for many more years.
Betty loved to dance. After Archie passed away she joined a line dance group. She loved line dancing and enjoyed the friendships she found in the other line dancers.
She was also a talented artist in both oil and acrylics. Betty loved music, she played piano, the violin, and mandolin until the arthritis in her fingers made it to difficult. Western music was her favorite to just listen to.
Betty worked for the Farnsworth Insurance Company for over 40 years as a bookkeeper. She retired a few years after Archie passed.
Her last six years were spent with her companion and very good friend, Claude Briddle. Claude also passed away not long ago.
