The couple exchanged their vows in Las Vegas, Nevada. To this union was born one son, Clayton. Additionally, Betty was the loving mother of her first born daughter, Sabrina. Her two grandchildren, Quanesha and Quashawna lovingly called her "Betty" and her great granddaughter, Novella added much joy and pride to her life. Betty enjoyed time with family and friends, shopping and playing bingo. Her best friend (as a young adult) was Vicky Brown. All of her friends always appreciated her great sense of humor.
