Betty Ruth Smith

On Tuesday morning, you reached out and took Jesus by the hand.  You went the way you lived your life, fearlessly and faithfully.  I know that Jesus smiled as he led you through the gates of Heaven.

Greeting Betty as the angels sang,  were her husband Roger and her beautiful grandson Gabriel along with those in her family that made it to Heaven before her.  

Left to celebrate her life and tell her stories are her children and grandchildren: Roger and Dana Smith (Shelbie, Cole, Baylee), Rodney and Julie Smith (Caleb, Jacob, Shawn, Tara Christian, Tylere Christian), Rainelle Ross and James Mathias (Peyton Howard, Mia Mathias, Josh Mathias, James J. Mathias), Robert and Elizabeth Smith (Kendra, Wade).  Betty's sister Orpha and Tom Hanson, her very special friend/niece, and nephew Heather and Matthew Rickman, and her close friend and neighbor Janetta Roberts.  Betty also had great grandchildren and too many nieces and nephews to mention.  She was a friend to many both young and old.  

Betty was tiny but fierce and lived life like a giant.  We will remember her spirit, the love she had for her family, and the faith she had in her Lord.
