Betty was born on March 4th 1932 in Kittery, Maine to Robley and Natalie (Corthell) Swanton. She grew up in Maine and then moved to New Hampshire where she ran a diner for a short time before going to work for AT&T. She worked on an assembly line, building circuits. She worked her way up to being in charge of the line. She married Melvin Lord in 1985, the couple moved to Salem, NH, and spent the winters in St. Petersburg, FL. She spent the last year and a half in Spearfish. She first lived at her daughter's house and then at Burr's Tender Care Assisted Living, where she made many wonderful friends. Betty enjoyed arts & crafts, playing Bingo and putting puzzles together. She also liked going to horse races and gambling, especially on the slot machines.
