They were in the same dance club, bowling team, and did family camping together.

Her family and friends were the love of her life. Bette was in particular gratitude of and endeared to all of her Appleton aunts, uncles and cousins, who so lovingly made her and her family a special part of their lives. She enjoyed a variety of employment: WBAY TV, Brice Realty, NWTC, Green Bay Park & Recreation, and home health care with Bellin hospital.

She was a member of Nativity of our Lord parish adult choir for 30 years and was also a member of their prayer group.

Bette was happiest being with her family, especially the annual week in St. Germain each summer. She enjoyed camping, birthdays, holidays, and any other opportunities to be together. Bette enjoyed being a grandma for 30+ years, making many family scrapbooks, dog sitting, cooking, entertaining, playing piano, listening to music, doing chalk pastels as well as misc. art projects. She loved cutting grass, blowing snow, and golfing with her ladies' league. Bette cooked for many sick friends. She collected flower petals to make potpourri to give away to everyone she knew. Bette and Marvin traveled to Medjugorje, Croatia in 2002.  She went again as a widow in 2006; it was the most beautiful, affirming spiritual experience in her lifetime.
