She was born November 16, 1937 in Chicago, IL, the daughter of Frederick B. and Fern G. (Hulse) Heard. Betty grew up in River Grove where she attended River Grove Bible Church, she was very proud of her father and his role in the building of the church. She was a baton twirler for (East) Leyden High School and was honored to be named Prom Queen her senior year. Betty worked for the VA at Hines for over 30 years assisting veterans with financial affairs. Ever the devoted mother, Betty worked hard to provide a good life for herself and her daughter. Making time for fun whenever possible they would go roller skating, go to the movies, but Dawn’s favorite was Friday pizza night, when they would make their own pizzas at home. Betty was an avid reader, always with a book nearby. She also enjoyed sudoku and crossword puzzles.
