She was the 11th born of 12 children, on November 22, 1930 in Anderson to the late wonderful parents Elmer and Josephine (Licher) Smith.

She graduated from high school and then went on to attend Ball State University for a year. She was a homemaker for a number of years before she began working with her husband, Denny, and son, John, at Dennis & John Myer Insurance. Betty Ann found her spiritual home at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and was a devote member for many years. She was a very active member of the Victoria Guild and the Anderson and Edgewood Country Club. Betty Ann was an avid golf and tennis player and she enjoyed traveling all over the world. Most importantly, she loved her family and was a wonderful mother and grandmother to them. “Wow!
