On August 10, 1953, Betty married John Caroll Baker in Grants Pass, Ore. They moved to Brookings in 1968. Mostly a homemaker, Betty spent a few years working outside the home as in a local grocery store and doing fire watch in the summer. She was an avid bowler and loved taking trips to Reno. In recent years, Betty knitted hats to be donated to local new-born babies.
