In 1955, Betty met the love of her life, Ray Whitaker, and the two married April 27, 1956. They were blessed with a son, Kevin, and Betty thoroughly enjoyed being a wife and mother.

They loved serving the Lord together and made many fond memories with their church family. Betty also cooked for her church's campers at Falls Creek Youth Camp for over 30 years.
