She discovered a half sister and two step brothers that she did not know of, and relished spending time with them and making lasting memories. She had a passion for cooking, gardening and canning. She loved taking long walks and being out in nature. Betty and her husband James walked many miles up and down the country road they lived on and at the park. She also loved to shop and travel with her family, and was an avid Alabama football fan.  Mrs. Basinger retired from the Cullman Golf Course where she worked for over 20 years.
