Betty was an ambitious woman who
worked until she was 89. She could most often be
found driving a school bus for one of many central
Illinois school districts but had also driven
charter buses all over the U.S. and into Canada.
Betty had owned and managed a Dairy Queen in
Bloomington. She was a member of the McLean United
Methodist Church and the Order of the Eastern Star.
She gave back to her community by serving as a girl
scout leader and a member of the Mt. Hope Ladies
Aide. She enjoyed square dancing and loved flowers
and music.
Memorials may be made to McLean United Methodist
Church or an organization of the donor’s choice.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
Funeral Home of Atlanta.
