Born on June 28, 1934, to Wilbur Cook and Mamie (Maynard) Thornhill, Betty was a beloved member of her community. She was a former bus driver for Wheelersburg Schools and also worked at Walmart.

Rowe and his wife Ann of Cedarville, and Danny Rowe and his wife Rita of Ironton; her two daughters, Rhonda and her husband Jerry Tomilson of Kentucky, and Tonya and her husband James of Wheelersburg.
