Betty was born on December 12, 1940, the only child of Lee Claude and Floy May (Gallaway) Reddick in Fairfax, Oklahoma. Raised in Fairfax, she graduated with the Red Devil Class of 1959. After High School, Betty attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma and Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas.

Throughout her lifetime, Betty traveled many places to attend rodeos and veterinary conferences, including California, Nevada and Hawaii. She often invited friends and family to travel with her. During one of her trips to Hawaii, she visited one of the nations oldest and largest ranches in the US, the Parker Ranch on the Big Island. Betty had a lengthy career in Veterinary Medicine, practicing in Arkansas, Colorado, California and New Mexico. She was a longtime member of the First United Methodist Church in Fairfax, Oklahoma and Maxwell, New Mexico.
