Betty graduated from Winner High School in 1964. She attended Black Hills State University for a year before returning to Winner and beginning a job at Ranchers National Bank. She married John Parlet in 1966. They moved to California and raised two daughters, Darci (Parlet) Turner and Joy (Parlet) Underwood. John and Betty were in the restaurant business for more than 30 years.

In every place that Betty lived, she left a mark. In the over 25 years Betty lived in Ridgecrest, California, she was a contributor to the community in so many ways. She shared the values of her South Dakota upbringing with a whole generation growing up in an isolated desert town. Betty and John employed so many young people through John’s Pizza. One of the reasons these people loved working at John’s Pizza was because John and Betty cared so much about their employees. Betty would host staff parties at their home, and she was the glue that held everything together. She was a woman of faith, a wife, a mom, a businesswoman, a volunteer, and a contributor to all local causes. She served for years on the Ridgecrest Regional Hospital Board of Directors and was responsible for planting many of the trees and gardens in Ridgecrest. Betty lived in San Luis Obispo, California the last 20 years of her life. She loved San Luis Obispo and made so many warm memories and lasting friendships. Her home was always open, and she was happiest when it was full. Her bible study groups, PEO sisters, bridge clubs, and family – always family – had a home in her home. She gave real meaning to the word “gracious.” The lives of so many family members and friends have been forever altered by her loss, yet they have all been blessed to have had such a beautiful bond with our sweet Betty.
We will celebrate Betty’s well-lived life in Ridgecrest, California on Saturday, 16 September 2023, at the Historic USO Bldg on Ridgecrest Blvd. from 2 – 5 pm.
