Betty's family history and life was woven into the fabric of Tullytown. A direct descendent of Samuel Lovett and Mary Stokes, who arrived in Burlington, NJ in 1677. Betty counted relatives among Bucks County families of the Stokes, Webster, Wilson, Keller, Moon, Burton, Lippincott and others. She was preceded in death by her husband, Elmer B.

She was the property owner for rental properties in Tullytown and held several outside jobs during her lifetime. One of which, she was especially proud of, involved the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, NJ. In her adolescence and long into her adult years, Betty was a caretaker for many family members and friends, who would spend their last days of life, under Betty's careful watch in the Lovett home, including her mother, Clara; sisters, Verna, Virginia and Clara "Mae"; her husband, Elmer; and her good friend, Mabel.
