Betty graduated from Atwood High School and was a hard working woman all of her life. She was a tax preparer and an enrolled agent with the IRS well into her eighties. From 1959-1995 Alice and Bob owned and operated the Dewart Lake Inn renting boats and aiding fishermen and families in their lake adventures. Betty was very active in the community and was a member of the Hi Neighbors Club, Good Will Extension, a treasurer and charter member of the Dewart Lake Protective Association and a Lane Director for many years as well. She often volunteered and was a 4-H leader for many years, a member of the Kosciusko County Historical Society and enjoyed giving tours at the Museum. She was an amazing cook and loved to garden, travel, and go Salmon fishing in Michigan. She had been all over the United States with Bob, but loved most being at their property in Michigan. Betty also attended the Dutchtown Brethren Church and was a member of the Women Missionary Society. She really did it all.
