Betty was born on December 27, 1926 to George and Elizabeth (Barth) Yantzer in Mandan, ND. She was raised and educated in the St. Vincent area. Betty married Peter Fleck on October 28, 1947 at St. Vincent in a double wedding with Matt and Betty Yantzer. They moved to a farm south of St. Anthony and raised cattle, hogs, and chickens. Betty enjoyed gardening, reading, playing cards, especially pinochle and 500 rummy. Betty was a wonderful cook and her German cooking was exceptional, especially her creamed chicken and gravy, plachinda, and cream cookies.

Betty was an active member of St. Anthony church and Christian Mothers for many years. She also was an avid Minnesota Twins fan and rarely missed watching a game, even until her last week.
