Their union was blessed with five children: Patricia Ann, Clifton Earl, Donna Marie, Michael David and Pamela Kay.

Over the course of 40 years, five kids, 17 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, Mountain View has grown into a thriving business distributing their famous Hot Links nationwide.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Cliff; her parents, Jack and Lillie Powell and brothers, Jack and John Powell.
