Betty was born on November 8, 1935 to John and Elizabeth Gruendler in St. Louis. Betty lived a family-filled upbringing as the youngest of 4. After graduating from Lindbergh High School in 1953, she went on to study business.

Betty married her love, Jack Robinson, in 1959 and had their first child, Vicki, in 1960. The young family transferred to Springfield in 1962 where their youngest daughter, Terry, was born a year later.
