She dedicated her life to Jehovah on July 9, 1983 and was a faithful member of the Phenix West Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses until her death. Betty loved teaching others the truth on how one day this earth will be a beautiful paradise.

Other than her parents, Betty was preceded in death by two sisters, Pearl Collins, and Patricia Manning.

Brandi, I pray for special courage, peace, and love for your family and you. It's not easy to cope with the loss of a mother. A mother who had a special place in your heart. You have to make a new start without her in life, but please know she is very proud of her baby girl, and she will be your Angel above.
Love, Ms. Constance, Trenity, and Machen

To the entire family of B. Joyce Jones, I am sorry for your great loss. As a young girl (Sister Jones and I were in the same congregation) I admired several things about B. Joyce: how "put together" she always was, her beautiful smile, her love for her family, her compliments to an awkward teenager (me)... she had many good qualities, but what stood above them all was her loyalty to her God, Jehovah. During my years of knowing B. Joyce, she was always there, at Jehovah's house; whether with family or alone. This says so much about her. This is the quality I admired the most in her, her loyalty to her God. With love, Beverly (Jensen) Kinser
