She graduated from Appleton High School in 1955 and worked for a local attorney, the late Frank Nehs, as a legal secretary until marrying Everett on May 2, 1959, at First English Lutheran Church of Appleton. Betty was a key part of Ev’s photography business for over 40 years here in Appleton, Rohde Photo, keeping the books and scheduling appointments. She also worked for an extended period of time for Dr. Thomas Luther, a local dermatologist, and later continued to work as a medical secretary, after moving to Wisconsin Rapids, for a doctor‘s office in that city. Both Ev and Betty, retired in 1992, returning to live in Appleton.
