She was a special minister at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church as well as St. Michael the Archangel Church both in Grand Prairie.

Her family and friends will remember how special her visits with the woman of the parish were to her. Betty loved spending time with her friends, playing her favorite games, Bunko and Farkle. But something she loved more was her family. Family was so significant in her life.
