They had three children, Douglas Sigman, John Sigman and Penny Sigman. Betty is survived by her sons, Douglas and John; and her grandsons, Eric, David, Lucas and Austin Sigman.
Betty had a very active social life as an Air Force officer's wife, and was active in Eglin Officer's Wives Club. Together they enjoyed memberships in Eglin Yacht Club and Fort Walton Yacht Club.
