    Betty was a bookkeeper and a fine financial investor (although she got no credit for this - being a woman). She was very successful, more so than her husband Val Dimelow.
  • Personal Life & Family

    Betty grew into a beautiful woman and was popular with the boys. Unfortunately her fiancé was killed during WWII. She met an American officers (Solicitor in peace times) who wanted to marry her. but Betty's father, because he knew he was dying, told Betty she had to stay in Melbourne and look after her mother. At the time her brother, Bruce, had gone into the army at 18 and was fighting in New Guinea. As a married woman, Betty was a founding member of the Ladies Wine and Food Society in Melbourne. She was a very finely trained and talented opera singer but was not allowed to continue her interest in that after she married Val Dimelow. Betty took Janet to a Wine and Food Society trip to Venice in about 1972. From then on she travelled for many years on these Wine and Food trips to New York, Spain, London and other European destinations.
