Bette fell in love with the South and settled in the Charleston area in 1982 where she raised her children and began a long, successful career in sales and marketing, primarily in retail. Bette was known for her love of the arts, especially theater and music. She was a member of the Charleston Symphony Singers Guild and was a cast member of the Dock Street Theater’s Quilters musical.
