Betty was born on June 28, 1925 in London Grove, to the late Ethel and Thomas Nowland. On October 26, 1946, she married her high school sweetheart, J. Franklin Chambers.

Betty graduated from Unionville High School in 1943 and continued her education at the Chester County Hospital School of Nursing, graduating in 1946 as a registered nurse.

She enjoyed visiting her family throughout the United States, from California to Maine, going to weddings and graduations of her grandsons, nieces and nephews, but her heart will always be at Chambers Lake which was dedicated to her husband Frank. She is survived by four children, Linda and her husband Rick of Port Charlotte, Fla., James and wife Janet of Hesston, Pa., David and wife Cindy of Fayetteville, Pa. and William and his wife Donna of Christiana, Pa.
