Betty known by her family as “Betty Ann” has always had a relationship with God but renewed her passion for Him when she joined Central Baptist Institutional Church. She was a dedicated member of the Central Inspirational Singers where she eagerly sang with the choir. Betty was also a member of the “Women of Worship” (WOW) and Special Events Ministries.
