Betty was born May 11, 1929 in St. Joseph, MO to Ruth Myrtle (Vantrease) and James Franklin Fortune. She graduated from Cambria High School and later married Roy L. Pollock. Betty was devoted to her family and raising her children. She was a talented seamstress and turned this gift into a thriving business. Later, after the children were grown, Betty worked for Des Moines Christian Association at the encouragement of her friends who also worked there. She enjoyed helping others and was a kind neighbor who was always available to assist. Betty was a dog lover her entire life and always had a four- legged friend by her side. She was also a member of Order of the Eastern Star in her younger years.

Betty will be greatly missed by her children, Kathy Sergio, Randy (Julienne) Pollock, and Michael (Rhonda) Pollock; her grandchildren, Anthony (Oi) Sergio, Leanne Sergio, Megan (David) Daughenbaugh, Zac (Kate) Pollock, Ryan (Shazasha) Pollock, Jacob Pollock and Jason Pollock; and 15 great-grandchildren.
