The former Betty Sharp and Mr. Chance, both of Rock Island, were married Aug. 14, 1954, in the Quad Cities.
Their children and spouses are Sandy and Don McLean, Reynolds; Tammy and Bob McShane, Oologah, Okla.; Kevin Chance, Indianapolis, Ind.; and Brian Chance, Milan.
There are five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Mr. Chance retired in February of 1985 after 35 years at John Deere Plow & Planter Works, where he was a pipefitter.
The couple built and opened the Scamper In, Milan, in 1958.
For more than 30 years Betty managed the business, while Wallace worked there on weekends.
It is still a part of their lives today, as they help out when needed.
