She was a fan of Kitty Wells, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. She was an avid bowler and enjoyed going to the lake and the beach, especially Ottawa State Park in Holland. She loved nature and enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels in her yard with Bob. She took great pride in her appearance and always liked making sure her hair had been done. Holidays were her favorite, especially Christmas. On television, she liked watching Walker Texas Ranger, and old western movies. Nothing was more important to her than her family. She was a caring and giving person and there wasn't anything she wouldn't do for her children. Besides her husband, Betty is survived by her children, Karen Wing, Debbie Vander Poel, Glenda Jack, Cheryl Warner, Craig (Chris) Warner, Rodney Warner, Rhonda (Francis) Warner Ryan; grandchildren, Jeremy (Angel) Warner, Corey Warner, R.
