Born October 31, 1926, in Middletown, OH, Betty was the eldest of seven children. She attended Middletown Public Schools. Betty began her work career at an early age. She was known as a dedicated employee, “a hard worker”. After 22 years of service in 1988, Betty retired from Middletown Public Schools.

Betty, an avid cook and gardener, loved growing flowers, and could spend hours in her garden pulling weeds. She married Lloyd “Red” Wells in 1960 and resided on Yankee Road, near Monroe, OH, until they relocated to Rosedale Road in Middletown in 1990. Mr. Wells passed away in 1992.
