She was born on June 9, 1938, in Meadow, Texas to Frank & Maggie Daniel after 23 years of marriage.  Her love and devotion to her family and friends, coupled with her strong Christian faith, was evidenced in a lifetime spent supporting others in any way she could.

Several years later she became a legal secretary for Jim Pete Hale.

Betty and James counseled and prayed with many during their years of Christian service. 

In 2002, Betty came out of retirement and worked part-time at Thermo Fluid, Inc from 2002-2004 when she retired for good. Betty enjoyed her family, church, photography, scrapbooking, genealogy, and helping the community.
