Betty and Chuck married on June 20,1959.
Betty enjoyed taking long drives in the car with Chuck, volunteering and most important, spending time with her family. She also had a strong faith in the Lord. On June 20, 2019, Betty and Chuck renewed their vows of 60 years at OLA, the place where it all began.
