Obituary from the "Leader-Telegram" of Eau Claire, Wisconsin dated 20 Mar 2010:
Zapata, Texas - Betty June McSorley died Saturday, February 13, 2010, at Laredo Medical Center in Laredo, Texas, surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
Betty McSorley was the wife of the late Jerome Dean McSorley Sr. Betty was born on June 13, 1930, to the late Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Kennedy in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, during a tornado that blew out the hospital windows. She later moved to Texas with her late husband, Jerome Dean McSorley Sr., where they prepared for ministry. Betty raised seven children while helping her husband with a successful full-time ministry in Zapata, Texas; Mexico; and India.
Because of a lifelong dedication to her ministry, there are now hundreds of congregations meeting in different parts of the world, including Mexico, India, and here in Zapata. Also, two orphanages, a day school, four feeding programs and a widow's home in India.
Surviving is her son, Jerome Dean McSorley Jr. and wife Pamela; daughters, Karen Kleban and husband Barry, Anita Ersch and husband Don, Donna Self and husband Bryan, Ruth Villegas and husband Roy, Shirley Myers and husband Ken, Connie Rodriguez and husband Gerardo; one sister, Darlene Garza and husband Art; 29 grandchildren; 54 great-grandchildren (55 and 56 are on the way); and one great-great-grandchild.
