Betty graduated from Erie High School in 1963 and married Jerry Morgan in Erie Colorado that same year. Added to this union were two sons and one daughter; Lonnie, Ronnie, and Janet. Over the next 30 years they raised their family and traveled together through many adventures to include "living off the grid" for a period of time in the mountains of Montana. Betty later married Gene Calif on March 20, 2004 to present. Together they served God and the community of Long Pine, Nebraska where Betty was well-known and loved by all. Nothing made Betty happier than spending time with her family and friends and dedicating herself to helping others. Her happy welcoming demeanor will live on in the memories of all that knew her.
