After retirement Betty worked at First Electric in Little Rock for many years as a receptionist. 

Betty enjoyed butterflies so much that she even wore them in her hair which led to a nickname by some fellow co-workers as “Butterfly Betty”. She also enjoyed reading, teaching the grandkids how to play chicken foot, playing cards with her friends, and loved going to church. Betty was also a die-hard Razorback fan. She loved them so much that she would still cheer for them during a replay. There was not much more she loved than serving the Lord and being surrounded by loved ones.
