Betty graduated from Heath Springs High School in Heath Springs, SC in 1946 and then from Furman University in Greenville, SC in 1950 where she earned a degree in Home Economics. She taught school just after college before becoming a full-time homemaker. Betty enjoyed her family and friends and especially her beach house. She enjoyed co-hosting parties and teas at Pfeiffer College where her husband taught. She was known for her good cooking and Southern hospitality. She often cooked meals for Pfeiffer students, welcoming them into her home. Betty was a dedicated and loving wife, mother, and grandmother and was second mom and grandma to many.
