Deceased Name: TO BETTY HOUGHTON, FAMILY WAS EVERYTHING
You think you have big family reunions? If Betty Houghton had been able to assemble all the ancestors she learned of through years of genealogical research, she could have packed her neighborhood park with 10,000 people.

Genealogy was a mission for Betty. She made charts and graphs and family trees and all by hand because she didn't have a wide-carriage typewriter. If her kids ever had a family history project in school, they would have been set.

Lydia ''Betty'' Houghton, who died in Rossmoor on Monday at the age of 88, was born in Provo, Utah, but graduated from Long Beach Poly High School. She was Betty Hasler then.

She went to the California College of Commerce and had several secretarial jobs before marrying Leo Houghton, a Long Beach high school chemistry and biology teacher for 32 years.

She met Leo while living in Compton and acting as drama director for the Mormon church there. He was a UCLA student and because of studies, his attendance at church was spotty at best. Betty was desperate for just the right young man to play the lead in a play she'd written. Someone suggested Leo Houghton, but he hadn't been showing up for meetings.

Just then, who should appear in the doorway but Leo Houghton. Betty recruited him for the play and for life. They were married in 1940.

She was a strict mom - a fact for which her children thank her now and an active member of her church and her political party. For church, she became a popular public speaker, talking about missionary work and teaching the young people.

For the Republican party, she worked at both the state and national level. On their 40th wedding anniversary, Leo asked Betty what she would like as a gift. She said she'd like a flagpole. And the Stars and Stripes have been flying in front of their house ever since.

She wasn't an astounding cook, and didn't spend much time ambushing dust bunnies, but she was meticulous about her extensive genealogical and religious research. More than 400 books line her bookshelves, with underlinings and marginal notes in every one of them.

She is survived by her husband, Leo; sons, Dennis and David; daughter, Lenore Sharatata; 11 grandchildren and 12 greatgrandchildren.

Funeral services are at 11 a.m. today at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 4142 Cerritos Ave., Los Alamitos.
