Betty was born on April 7, 1933 to Ellis Morrow Ham and Ruth Elizabeth (nee: Burton) Ham, both deceased, at Rocky Hill Kentucky. Her father was ordained pastor of the Baptist faith and had his own church in Lexington, Kentucky. Betty was a self taught piano and organ player and played for the church. She loved to play and did so until she went into the nursing home. She divorced her first husband Billy Lamb in the early 90's. They had 6 children; Jackie, James, Johnny, Jerri Sue, Joe and Jacob. She also had 3 step children, Frances, Timothy and Ernest. She also had 9 grand children, 7 step grandchildren and 2 great grand children. She graduated from Kentucky State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in the mid 1980's She had a loving fondness for animals. She loved horses and had several of them when living in Kentucky. She also had a love of dogs and other animals. Her biggest hobby was crocheting and some knitting. She loved to read mysteries and Daniele Steele. She was outgoing and easily made friends and wasn't shy in opening a conversation with anyone but she also spoke her mind when it was deemed necessary. One of her biggest joys was a red Ford Mustang she had in Kentucky and then A the new white Ford Mustang convertible she bought in 1999. Betty enjoyed the beauty of life. The one thing that she spoke about often was her working at Queen Emma Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1991-1992 in the psychiatric ward. She loved the environment that included work, climate and people. This was where she was at peace with herself and that was why she always wanted to come back to Hawaii. She finally has! One final item; Betty and I were married on October 12, 1997. We met on the Internet, while I was on a project for the US Gov't in Utah. We clicked right from the start and 3 days later I asked her to marry me. Right after the project was completed, I drove to Kentucky then to Bullhead City, AZ where we married. From the day we met, it was 14 days later that we were Mr & Mrs. Tasho. Neither one of us ever of regretted our decision.
