Betty accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and was a long-time member of the church of Christ. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She lived to serve God and actively sought out ways to help others, as written in James 2:18: Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” Betty will be missed by family, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, and by the family she made at Mountain View Health Care.
