taught for 2 years. Betty
married Vaughn Bloom on

telephone company. Dur-
ing the spring of 1961,
they returned to Blaisdell
to begin farming and be
near family and friends
which were her most
valued treasures. In 1973
they moved to Plaza. In
the fall of 1980, they
moved to Stanley, where
they resided until 2012.
Vaughn passed away in
February 2013. Betty then
moved to Brentmoor As-
sisted Living, in Minot.
Betty was always willing
to help anyone and was
often the chauffer. She
was an avid bowler, at
which the score never
mattered, she just enjoyed
the social time. She loved
to travel, dance, play
bingo and cards, and at-
tend her grandchildren’s
activities. Betty was an
active member in Red
Hats, Legion Auxiliary,
and the Ladies Aid at
Shell Creek Lutheran and
American Lutheran. For
many years, Betty could
be seen working at the
American Legion in Stan-
ley, the Scenic Restaurant
and Better B’s Restaurant.
During the spring, her
pride was her green
house. Betty officially re-
tired at the age of 79.
During her
semi-retirement years, she
enjoyed spending the
winter months in the
south.
Betty was truly a friend
to all and always greeted
everyone with her beauti-
