Her community service included membership on the City Planning Commission and a term as President of the Kansas State Veterinary Medical Association Auxiliary. Indeed, Betty was a force, but she always said her, “ greatest accomplishment was to have raised, with my husband, three children who are well adjusted Christian adults.” She took great pride in her family, and her home was full of pictures of every member. Betty’s hobbies included quilting, boating and entertaining her friends and especially family. Betty is preceded in death by her husband and by her brothers, Charles Goodness and James Goodness. She is survived by children: Carolyn (Gene) Blackwelder, Richard (Barbara) Mohney, Priscilla (Myron) Zeller, 10 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild.
