Betty married Jackie Dale Pate in Kaufman, Texas on March 8, 1958. She was born and raised in Kaufman and Rockwall Counties and also attended schools there. Betty was a very caring and loving wife that wouldn't allow her husband to even go to work without a hot meal and a lunch box so heavy he had to use both hands to carry it. She never made a meal from a box or package they were always made with love from scratch. She was a hard worker throughout her life always canning and cooking for her loved ones. When Betty wasn't cooking or caring for her family she loved to take the time to go fishing and going to the casino. She spent her entire life doing things the right way.
