On October 23, 1949 she married James Louis Moravec in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. As a young couple they lived in Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, Nebraska and Maine and in 1957 moved to Casper.
Bette and Jim had five children, and she was a busy homemaker. She always enjoyed baking and will especially be remembered for her cinnamon rolls, which were "the best in the west." She was active in PTA, Boy Scouts, Job's Daughters, and Blue Envelope Health Fund.
