Betty and Charles enjoyed vacationing with family in Florida and spending time at Bruton Branch camping and boating. Betty was a wonderful cook and fond of being outdoors, tending to flowers and gardening.

Betty made a successful career as a hairstylist alongside her sister at Nell's Salon in Selmer, TN until her retirement. Throughout her life, she dedicated her time by caring for multiple generations of nieces and nephews, all who fondly remember her as a most loving Aunt. And, for many years before his passing in 2008, Betty dutifully tended to Charles' bedside. She was an affectionate caretaker.
