Following graduation Betty worked in Bangert's Store until she was united in marriage to Ernest Ebel of Primghar on November 10, 1946, in Sheldon, Iowa.

They farmed near Melvin until Ernie went to work for Frank Juber Implement. The couple then moved to Diagonal, IA in 1952, and later to Creston, IA, before moving to Spencer in 1957.
