Betty was born Sept. 21, 1924, Hyattville, Wyo., in the home of Winnie Hollywood, midwife to her parents Dick and Daisy (Doyle) Ilg. Mom was the only girl among four boys: Richard Ilg (Lenore), Clarence Ilg, Lyle Ilg and Donnie Ilg.
Born with a hemorrhaging umbilical cord, Betty was placed by Winnie on the open oven door close to the inside. Mom’s unique worldly entrance was the beginning of a 96-year life, filled with family, hard work, friends, church, card games and visiting.
