Betty was born August 25, 1938 in Beyersville, Texas to Bertha (Thonig) and Louis Czimskey.  She graduated from Thrall High School in 1956, and soon met the love of her life Kermit Sakewitz at the Wagon Wheel Dance Hall in Beyersville.

She loved cooking for family and friends and welcomed everyone to her table. She enjoyed doing arts and crafts, but one of her favorite past-times was to attend her three sons’ baseball games.
