Betty Rebecca Brown

Sister Betty sold corn from the bed of her green Ford Ranger for many years and was known around town as the "Silver Queen Corn Lady". She was born July 13, 1946 in Tabor City, NC, the daughter of the late Vanderville and Kathleen Williamson. In July of 1981, she joined the Midway Apostolic Church. For the next 38 years she devoted her life to being a Christian and was a founding member and on the Board of Trustees at Lighthouse Pentecostal Church. Her church family was very important to her.

Survivors include her two daughters, Ramona "Gail" Hall and husband Rocky, and Mylinda Brown; a grandson, John Eric Brown; a brother McNeil Williamson; and two sisters, Lois St. George and Loretta Mikrut; and a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
