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.
