A Labor of Love
At eleven years young, Betty accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. As she grew in her spiritual journey, she understood the true meaning of salvation.
Her passion in life was the care of others, and she spent 30 years in the nursing field, specializing as a surgical nurse. Betty was an avid reader and a lifetime learner. There was no subject that she didn’t find interesting. The aesthetics or historical significance of antiques cultivated her passion for collecting antiques. She owned an antique shop.
