Betty took great joy in being a homemaker for her family and showered them with her unconditional love. Betty had four sisters, Shirley Jean (Daniel Stone), Patty Lou (Jimmie Swanson) and Joyce Ann (Rick Crookshanks) Bobbi Jo (Ernest Porter). Betty and Chuck had eight children, Charles Jr. (Leisa Wedge), Mary Jane, Jean Ann (Randy Bevins), Danny Ray (Vicki Jarvis), David Wayne (Susan Terry), Lynn Marie (Joe Carter), Johnathon Michael (Bobbi Stranahan) and Kristina Sue (Chauncy).

Betty was also blessed with six great-grandchildren, Heather Elizabeth, Jodi Raeann, Victoria Sueann, Abigail Christine and Riley Giger. Many of her happiest moments were spent in time with her children and grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other family members.

Betty's other joy in life was her relationship with her Lord and her brothers and sisters in Christ. Betty was very active in the First Church of God for over forty years, Pt. Pleasant. She taught Sunday School for all ages from the small children up to adults. She led the Vacation Bible School program for many years, taught crafts and devotions at summer youth camp and served as the President of the Women of the Church of God at First Church of God, Pt.
