Born October 22, 1929, to the late John Lester and Dorothy (Vosler) Roberts at the Vosler homestead. Betty Lou attended the Vosler one-room school and graduated as an honor student from Penn High in Greenville with the class of 1947. This was the largest class up to that time because of the returning boys who had been called to fight for our country in WWII.

She enjoyed making albums of several generations of the Vosler, Roberts, and Kittelmann families. Other favorite pastimes included reading, especially of local historical events, working in the garden with her flowers, decorating for the holidays, and spending time with family.
