Betty worked several years at the Don Pratt Manor.  For 27 years she was a Certified Nurses Aid at the Belle Fourche Nursing Home.  In the early 1990’s Betty retired.  On December 17, 2010, Betty was united in marriage to Stan Bevier.  They were married at City Hall in Belle Fourche.  Following their marriage, they lived in Colony WY and in June of 2020 they moved into Belle Fourche.
