Vaughn and Betty were married in the Los Angeles area in 1953 and resided there until 1960 when they left California and moved to the farm they had previously purchased east of LaCygne. Betty relished the transition from life as a big city girl to that of Kansas farm girl as together she and Vaughn changed careers and became farmers. For nearly 40 years Betty and Vaughn built and grew their farm and cattle operation specializing in her beloved Black Angus. Following Vaughn's passing in 2000, Betty continued to live on the farm until her death. Betty was an avid reader subscribing to and reading everything from the New Yorker to the Farm Journal. And to hear her tell it, she was always behind in her reading. She also played the organ and was an interesting conversationalist.
