Betty was born on May 28, 1931 to William and Genevieve Glee in Morrill, NE. She passed away on June 22, 2016 at 85 years young at Pioneer Manor in Hay Springs.

Later on they moved to the Hay Springs area and worked for neighborhood farms, finally settling west of Hay Springs on the home place where they raised their family and Warren resides today.

She enjoyed many Ladies Aide meetings with her friends at church. She also loved to listen to the Sunday school children singing.
