They were married 75 years until Harley’s passing in 2022.  Starting her new life with Harley she went on to beauty school to become a hair stylist.

She owned her salon for 31 years until she had a stroke and had to retire in 1980. 

Bettey also loved shopping and going dancing. She was always dressed and made up to perfection when she stepped out of her house.
