Mrs. Conley was an active and long-time member of the Family Fellowship Foursquare Church in Amherst where she happily served as a Sunday School teacher and as a Vacation Bible School teacher for many years. She was a prayer warrior and would even awaken in the night to pray for those in need or just because she felt a strong urge to do so.

Betty enjoyed crocheting, quilting and creating crafts and shared her talents with her family and friends over the years. She made many a meal for shut-ins, friends and family as well as sharing her baking skills. She also was a member of the Adaptive Sports Group at Mercy Hospital.
