Betty lived a life deeply rooted in faith, grace, and quiet service. A longtime member of Indian Hill Bible Church, she served as an Awana leader and found great joy in prayer, song, and caring for others.

She was a devoted mother to her six children, Marcia (Robert) Orlando, Barbara Daniels, Donna (David) Couch, Mark (Leslie) Vice, Douglas Vice, and Robert Vice. She is also survived by her nephew Walter Wolf, who was like a brother to her, along with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Above all, Betty will be remembered as a loving, dedicated mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose greatest treasures were her family and her faith.
