Elder Betty Brooks

A daughter graced with the inclined ear of her heavenly Father, Elder Betty Green Brooks began her life's journey on November 23, 1951, in Miccosukee, FL. As the eldest child and beloved daughter of General Green and Sally Williams, it was apparent early in her life that God placed her in this world to be more than the matriarch of her family- she was its heartbeat, its compass, and its fiercest intercessor. When Betty prayed, heaven listened.

From the opening chapter of her life to its close, Elder Betty's prayers covered generations, her wisdom shaped legacies, and her unwavering faith turned ordinary moments into sacred ones. Betty's life was truly an outward expression of an inward commitment and faith.

Elder Betty Brooks accepted Christ as her personal savior, and from that moment, the Holy Spirit placed a deep burden in her heart for the lost, suffering, and the sick. With a quiet strength and a soul anchored in God, she served valiantly, and it was through her obedience to the Lord that His favor and power would be revealed in her life.

Betty was a faithful, dutiful, and committed pillar of Miccosukee Church of God of Prophecy, where her servitude began. During her time there, she served as the church clerk, Sunday School teacher, Bible Study teacher, a youth leader, and the Associate Pastor. However, her service and devotion to God didn't stop there. Her love for God and his people prompted her to forge new paths to spread the gospel beyond the four walls and into the community, where she began weekly community Bible studies to those who were hungry for the Word.

Later she continued her work for the Lord at Love and Faith Community Church, where she was consecrated a Mother and ordained an Elder.

In addition to her Christian servitude, Elder Betty fulfilled her career responsibilities as well. For nearly 20 years, she served as the beloved family chef and culinary creative for the Walthal family a prominent family responsible for multiple properties and businesses in the greater Tallahassee area. After growing such trust, respect, and admiration for Betty, the Walthal family entrusted their finance, recordkeeping, and rental property management to her, which she did effortlessly until her health grew more fragile.

On September 16, 2025, Elder Betty Green Brooks completed her journey of serving the Lord with gladness and transitioned to her heavenly home, where she will serve Him forever. A true born soldier in the Army of the Lord, she leaves behind not just memories, but a blueprint for grace, devotion, prayer, holiness, and unshakable faith. A chapter ended, a page turned, a life well-lived, a rest well earned.
