She was born on November 3, 1930, in Lamberton, Minnesota, to Gustav and Grace Langhoff, the youngest of four children. Betty married Edward Borgheiinck on October 18, 1952, and they raised three daughters. Betty was a wonderful wife, mother, grandma, and great-grandma. She was known for making her family and neighbors a delicious home-baked banana bread at Christmas. Her greatest joy was holding and rocking her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She took cuttings and planted them for her family to continue the heritage. She enjoyed traveling with Eddie to Florida, Texas, the Grand Canyon, and California with their camper. Now she was able to join him again to continue their journey together.
