Betty developed a keen interest in her family roots and genealogy and, through these interests, became a founding member of the newly formed Omaha Genealogy Society. Over the next twenty years, Betty and Gene traveled and researched the roots of their families. Betty had a passion for gardening and her flower and vegetable gardens were the envy of the neighborhood. Her cooking and sewing skills were developed in grade school and perfected throughout her life. No one ever set a more beautiful dining table or enjoyed entertaining dinner guests more than Betty. She was known to her family as the person who would always step in to help others in need, be they friends or strangers. Betty and Gene were married for 70 years until Gene's passing in 2013. In addition to her beloved husband, Betty was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Gene Edward; and her brother and his wife, Bill and Delores (Dodie) Jerome. Betty is survived by her daughters, Jerome (Jerre) and her husband Mark Hunter of Carter Lake, Iowa; Sherry Davis and James Harvey of Port Townsend, Washington; Susanne and her husband Roy Bohn of Milano, Texas; and Leslie and her husband Kevin Burr of Carter Lake, Iowa. Betty has seven grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. Also surviving is Betty's brother Lloyd Jerome and his wife Barbara of Council Bluffs and many wonderful nieces and nephews. All are grateful for having shared Betty's life.
