The two of them enjoyed life to the fullest; they loved to dance, loved the theatre, and loved large family gatherings. Betty was an excellent cook and baker, and enjoyed her family, her church, reading a good book, traveling with her husband, and visiting with dear friends. She worked several different jobs over the years, including Western Union and the Telephone Company in Jamestown, NY, andDigital Equipment Corporation and Belk Store Services in Charlotte, NC.
