She was born on April 13, 1940 in Lebanon, Oregon to Charles Karnosh and Doris Ashford.

She loved being involved with her family and her dogs, and enjoyed seeing new places while cruising and looking for new adventures. She loved camping and being on the road.
Betty was one of the strongest and determined people her family has ever known. At the age of 79, she was so happy to fulfill her dream of parasailing!
