They lived on a farm south of Forest City for a few years before moving into town. Betty enjoyed her work with her co-workers at Waldorf College and the Snyder Drug Store. In July of 1990, Dick passed away. A chance meeting rekindled a friendship, and she married Eugene "Gene" Johnson in December of 1995.
