She was born on August 2, 1919 at Mather Field in Sacramento, CA, the eldest of three daughters of Gen. Francis D. Hackett and Sara MacDonald Hackett. Her father's position in the U.S. Army Air Corps required the family to move frequently, and Betty spent portions of her childhood in the Philippines, New Mexico, Alabama and Ohio. However, some of her favorite childhood memories were when her father was stationed at Chrissy Field in San Francisco.
