Her constant love and companionship guided her husband of 40 years, four children, 13 foster children and eight grandchildren. Through her commitment to hard work she taught those she encountered to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. Pursuing her chosen profession as a nurse, Bette comforted patients and their families for over 35 years, working at hospitals in Lusk, Wyoming and Bountiful, Utah. She completed her career, by once again serving her country by providing care to veterans at the Salt Lake City Veterans' Hospital.
