Betty was born August 12, 1925 in Oasis to Lars Hansen and Albie Myrle Nichols. She grew up as a farm girl in Hinckley. She developed a strong work ethic on the farm that continued for the rest of her life.
She married Donald E Nelson in Salt Lake City on May 28, 1946. Later, they were sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on May 7, 1977 for time and all eternity.
She served in a number of callings in the LDS Church and very much enjoyed them. The one she enjoyed the most was as a worker in in the Jordan River Temple. She often expressed how close she felt to our Savior during those years.
She was a great homemaker and mother all of her life. She raised three sons and one daughter. She loved being with her children and helping with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed keeping her gardens looking very beautiful and spent as much time as she could each day with her flowers and vegetable garden.

Preceded in death by her husband, Don; oldest son, Ron (wife, Sharilynn); one great-grandchild; two sisters; and one brother.
