On Oct. 10, 1952, she was united in marriage to Edwin R. Jaques in Sioux City. She worked at Swift and Company, retiring after 25 years. She then was an in-home caregiver "lady sitter." Retirement was filled with the joy of being a grandparent. She was a very strong and independent woman.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Edwin in 2007; son, Mark in 2009; granddaughter, Ashley in 1982; 10 brothers; and two sisters.

Memorials may be directed to Immanuel Lutheran Church in Betty Lou's memory.
