She was preceded in death by her husband, George H. Carl Jr. and infant son, David Carl.

Carl III.  Betty is also survived by her grandchildren: John and his wife Anne, Meghan, Kellsey, Matt and his wife Sarah, Sean, Kayleigh, Connor, Nick, George, and Kori

A resident of Fairfield since 1973, she leaves behind a heartbroken but vast social network of friends in the Fairfield community.  Daily phone calls with friends were a high priority in her life. She was dedicated to her church, Trinity Baptist Church, where she spent many hours making joy-filled memories with her church family. Despite being a lifelong traveler, her favorite place was the beach. Her ideal day would be a walk on the beach with a loved one and a warm drink - a London fog. She loved to play golf, cook, bake, and dance.
