-Owned and operated a bookstore "Encore and More: in Ashtabula, Ashtabula County, Ohio. It traded in used paperback books and jigsaw puzzles. It opened in 1983 in a little home on Route 20 in Ashtabula. The house had a wood-burning fireplace which was lit every morning in the fall and winter months. Around it were rocking chairs where the customers could sit and look over books at their leisure. Three of her daughters ran the story while Betty Jane continued to work in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. In 1991 she sold the store to spend more time with her husband. At the time of it's closing, the store had over 35,000 books. Rather than accept extremely low bids for the books (sold as a lot), Betty Jane donated them to nursing homes and libraries. She said, in doing so, she met a lot of nice people.
