Betty’s gift was the beautiful piano music she played. Her greatest wish was that her music would glorify Christ. Betty loved her family, her friends, her church, playing the piano, sweet treats, and above all, her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She prayed endlessly and obediently for those she loved and anyone who needed it. She was a faithful member of and pianist for Bethany Westville Baptist Church of Westville, SC.

And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. John 17:3-4 NLT
