After Ted's retirement from the military, they settled in Knoxville. After Ted's death in 1986, Betty moved to Panama City Beach, Florida where she lived for 30 years and taught school through Bay County School Systems. Betty lived a wonderful and adventurous life and made lifetime friends along the way.
The family would like to thank Avalon Hospice, Knoxville for the wonderful care given to Betty and her family.
