Betty Rebecka was born on February 11, 1926, at Hull, the daughter of Herman and Alma (Hagenah) Schuett. She was raised on a farm north of Hull, where she attended the Garfield Country School and graduated from the Hull High School. She was baptized on March 2, 1926, and confirmed on April 21, 1940.

Over the years, she was employed at the Boyden Produce, the Hull and Sioux Center Creameries, the Boyden-Hull High School (in the kitchen and assorted other positions), the Pleasant Acres Care Center, and the Hull Bakery. She retired in 1988. In 2013, she became a resident of the Good Samaritan Society in George, and in October of 2015, they both moved to the Sanford Senior Care. “Walt” passed away on November 6, 2015, after seventy years of marriage and exactly one year before Betty.
