On May 30, 1948, Betty was united in marriage with Vernon Gudmonson at First Lutheran Church in Albert Lea. The couple made their home in rural Scarville, where Vernon farmed and Betty loved being a farm wife. The couple sold Watkins products for a number of years, enjoying neighborhood picnics, going dancing, and attending the Iowa State Fair.

Betty was so proud of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. As the grandchildren were growing up, Betty and Vernon attended as many of their sporting and FFA activities as they could. In later years, the couple kept up to date on the happenings in Lake Mills through the window of their car on Main Street, or by what they heard at The Grand Café.

Betty was well known for her wonderful sugar cookies and doughnuts, both made from scratch. The couple would take their items to the local farmers market, as well as baked for people that called to place special orders. Honorary pallbearers will be everyone who enjoyed Betty's sugar cookies.
