Betty, the eldest of five children, was born Jan. 12, 1941, to Delbert and Evelyn Wolcott. The family moved to Clarksfield in the late 1940s. Betty graduated from New London High School in 1958. Later that year, she met Rhene Becker at the Columbia Ball Room where he claims it was "love at first sight." The couple married in June, 1959. During the early years of their marriage, Betty traveled with Rhene who worked for the Buckeye Pipeline. A daughter, Tracy, was born in 1962 followed by Kristie in 1964. The family moved several times throughout the years, eventually settling in Clarksfield shortly after Rhene's retirement in 1990 and they enjoyed spending winters in Florida until 2015.
