The Story of Bettie's
What We’re All About
Bettie's was born out of passion. A passion driven by a personal experience of diabetes and a family tradition with the need to intersect the two. Christy was diagnosed with Diabetes in late 2019. She quit her job to focus on her health. As Christy’s health got better, she became restless. The need to do something was so strong. A thought that has always stuck with Christy for years was, when you are eating desserts all those negative feelings seem to melt with each bite. And that my friend is how Bettie's was born. Choosing Betties as a name was not hard for her. Christy’s paternal grandmother, the woman behind the original Betties recipe, was named Betty. She loved her grandmother and wanted to share her with others. However, the story behind the name does not stop there. She also chose Bettie's because of what the name means. Being a survivor of 14 years of domestic violence the name Betty (an attractive woman, a babe, a hottie to name a few) is a positive reinforcement! Her husband lovingly jokes that Christy is trying to give everyone diabetes, she sure is… one cheesecake at a time!
