She married Kenneth McDaniel in the year of 1961 and had her two children Quinn and Stacey whom she loved dearly. Betty began working as an apparel designer at Baxter in 1979 and stayed with the company for over 30 years. Betty spent her time cooking family recipes, going racing on the weekends, and was an active member in her community. She loved her bible study group and sharing the gospel, she truly never knew a stranger. Betty was an animal lover, a mystery novel reader, and her favorite time of day was soaking up the morning sunshine and looking out the kitchen window to see her quails.

She is survived by her eldest sister Margie Lowenhaupt, her son Quinn McDaniel and his wife Diana McDaniel along with her daughter Stacey Jonas.
