Biography
Betty was born in 1925 at Solomon, KS where her father was the manager of the lumber yard. By the time of the 1930 census the family had moved to Clay Center, KS. She studied nursing in Kansas City at St Luke's Hospital and became a nurse. At age 22 she married D. "Jack" Price and within a few years they had a family with 4 girls which kept her busy. In about 1951 the family moved to a new 2 bedroom home in the Kansas City suburb of Shawnee, KS. In the mid 1960s Betty returned to nursing and became the head nurse at a nursing home in Shawnee until retirement. She lived in the family home until age 86 when she relocated to a nursing home in nearby Desoto, KS. She passed away at age 89 in 2014 at the nursing home.
