Betty Morrow
Betty Jean Morrow, 85, of Benton, Arkansas went to be with the Lord on February 13, 2019. Betty was born July 1, 1933 in Springfield, Arkansas to the late James and Pearl Willis.
Betty had a servant's heart and loved taking care of others. She was a multi-talented woman who could do anything and had her hand into everything. Betty was not afraid of hard work. Growing up, she worked in the cotton fields with her twin sister collecting over 300 pounds a day! She also helped her father plowing fields with a mule. In high school, Betty was a champion track star and holds records in sprinting and pole-vaulting. Betty was always herself and never put on airs. She spoke her mind and was true to her word. Family was most important to Betty. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
