Our February Resident of the Month is, Betty!
Betty was born in Parkers Prairie, Minnesota and graduated from Sebeka High School. She loved playing basketball and wasn't afraid to get a little competitive!
Betty grew up with 3 brothers whom taught her how to hold her own at a young age. Following High School, Betty worked for MMC, selling clothing, before getting married and moving to Shakopee. She and her husband later raised 3 children. Eventually leaving MMC, she spent 22 years working at Sears, ending in management.
After retiring she hit the road and lived in a motor home enjoying her independence and adventure. She spent time in Southern Texas, Florida, and eventually found her way back home to Minnesota.
She loves to cook, bake, garden and fish, and she's the happiest when she's spending time with her grandkids and great grandkids. On Friday nights, she enjoys the tradition of going to the Casino with her granddaughter, and yes, she usually has a system 💲
Her favorite foods are cabbage rolls and pickles and she's a firm believer that pickles belong with just about everything! Her favorite companion is her dog, Austin, who currently lives with family but still runs the show.
Betty says she has lived a full life, enjoyed a few adventures and learned that good food, family time and a little fun go a long way! Betty has been at Friendship Manor just over one year.
