Betty devoted her life to Jesus, her family, her home, and her place of worship (Calvary Open Bible Church). She ensured her faith was grounded in the promise that Jesus is Lord and that the word of God is the rock upon which she stood. She brought up all her children and grandchildren as a witness to that gospel. Betty’s witness did not stop with her descendants, it stretched to friends of her children, extended family, members of her church, and children she taught in Sunday school. Betty spent her life as a servant to God and anyone she came in contact with.

Rest assured, now that she has made it to her reward, her Lord has said to her; well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; now I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share in your Lord’s happiness! (Matthew 25:21)
