On June 10, 1949, she married Jay Goodsell in the Logan LDS temple. They lived in Newton, Utah, and raised their three children, Richard (deceased), Dixie, and Janis. Betty worked for many years at Mode O’Day and after retirement she and Jay served missions at Cove Fort Historical Site and at the Bishop Storehouse in St. George, Utah.
