Betty was born April 19, 1945, in Marlin, TX, to Ernest and Rosalie Kroll.

Betty was proud to have worked for the Texas Farm Bureau state office for her entire adult life until her retirement. She loved to travel with her husband, Jerry, to trips such as Jackson Hole, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Salt Lake. Family trips would include taking grandkids to Disney World and later, visiting her nephew Justin in college while in Wisconsin. Later she went on trips with her traveling ladies’ group and would talk for hours about her adventures. She was a member of the Perry Methodist Church and served on their board for many years.

Betty was a collector of butterfly trinkets and all things Home Interior, prominently displaying both in numerous curio cabinets around the family home of over 40 years. She was an excellent cook and loved to share her recipes and techniques with those who showed interest. However, her main love was spoiling her grandbabies and great-niece, Brooklyn.
