She started a crochet club with friends and family. She liked hosting and going to family reunions and was more than an aunt to many nieces and nephews opening her heart and home to those in need. She took pleasure in taking memorial flowers to family gravesites. Betty loved square dancing and met her second husband Kenneth Docter at a dance.
