After retiring, Betty and Don moved to Abilene to be closer to their grandchildren.

Over the years Betty put many of her God given gifts to work by being a seamstress, a hairdresser, and an administrative assistant for several different organizations as well as the church she and her family attended, Skillman Avenue Church of Christ.

She is survived by her husband, Don; daughters Karan Duwe and husband Randy and Kathryn Klapp; brother, Charles Holland and wife Kathy; grandchildren Josh Duwe and wife Madge and Julee Roark and husband Justin; great-grandchildren Grant, Miles, and Jack Duwe and Ellee and Amos Roark, as well as many other extended family and close friends.
