Betty had several jobs, but first and foremost was taking care of her husband Ron and their 3 children, Terry, Gary and Ronda.

Betty was so generous of her time and money. She greatly impacted the lives around her and helped so many people for the better. Even as her health was failing she continued to help others in need.

Betty served her Lord diligently at Blue Ridge Baptist Temple for over 25 years and eventually South Haven Baptist church in Belton MO. Her influence and impact has touched the lives of those around her but especially her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren! There was nothing phony about Betty. She was a witness for Jesus Christ and lived her life in service of our Lord. Her testimony was strong as she entered the gates of Heaven on July 12, 2021 to be greeted by her Savior and those who went before her. Betty was a stirring example for her family and her friends and she will be greatly missed by all.
