Betty married the love of her life, Arthur Laginess, on October 7, 1950. Betty was a faithful member of the South Rockwood United Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday School, was a Communion Stewart, as was active with People of Faith. She also had been a member of T.O.P.S in Wyandotte and was a Girl Scout Leader in Trenton from 1964 until 1970. A dedicated homemaker, Betty also had worked at Ritter Pottery in South Rockwood and later as a Paraprofessional for Trenton Public Schools, retiring in 1990.
