In 1937, the family moved to a Cities Service Oil Camp south of Wewoka. From there Betty completed her education, graduating in the class of 1944 from Wewoka High School.
Shortly after high school, she married and moved to California. This marriage produced two children, Kenny Lee and Judy.

During 1958, she left the workforce to marry Newton, and became a homemaker, wife and mother to their three children, while in south Texas.
Having found her life’s calling, her greatest joys became her family and friends, of which she had many, never seeing a stranger.
Lale saw much of south Texas as the wife of a petroleum engineer working for Halliburton Services.
She enjoyed each location for its variety of people, experiences and opportunity to be of service.
She is survived by her husband, Newton, one brother, F. H. Neilson, Midwest City; three children, Kenny Lee Lale, San Marcos, Texas, Judy N. Pahany, Austin, Texas, and Newton Lale III, Osage, Ark.
