Betty was married to Clarence (Kelly) Johnson, following his passing, she spent 25 years enjoying the company of Marlyn Kinsinger. She worked for many years as the Head Cook for Iowa State University before retiring.

Betty had a passion for music and dance. In her younger years she took every chance she could to dance. If it was a weekend and there was a dance, Betty was there…. Even during her stay at the Perry Lutheran Home if Betty heard the music, she began to dance and after being confined to a wheelchair, she would clap her hands, wave her arms and wiggle around to the music.

Betty was known for her enduring love for her family and she enjoyed talking with anyone who wanted to visit.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband, parents and sister.
