Betty May Obituary
As the Lord called her deeper into His service, she answered as the pastor at Lighthouse of Life Church, shepherding her flock with love and wisdom for over a decade, and continued to be a faithful attendee at Resurrection Power Ministries.
Betty's zest for life was contagious; she was a beacon of joy, always sharing her jokes with family and lighting up a room with her smile. She was a matriarch of faith, teaching her family the paramount importance of keeping faith alive in their hearts.
Betty is survived by her children, Jody (Greg) May and Daniel (Ronda) Norris, grandchildren, Amanda (Rex) Woodruff, Stacey (Josh) Reese, Joshua Eddy, Adam (Amber) May, Casey May, Meagan Depew, David (Daniela) Wilkerson, Daniel Norris, Jordan Norris, Brittany (Thomas) Norris, Keagan Norris, Kamryn Norris, great grandchildren, Carder, Lane, Paisley, Jameson, Kohen, Everleigh, Jason, Lynden, Sadie, Felicity, Brynlee, Natalie, Jackson, Theo, Nora, Maddie, Dax, Amariana, Matthew (Chloe), and Ashley, great great grandchildren, Nova and Jasper, siblings, LaVern Rohm, Ron Rohm, and Hubert Rohm, brother in law, Victor Armstrong, sisters in law, Carlene Watson and June Watson, along with many bonus kids, grand kids, nieces, nephews, and special friends.
Betty was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, Dwane Watson, Donald Watson, Ray Rohm, Joyce Mason, and Ann Armstrong.
Betty's family will receive friends on Friday, December 13, 2024, 10:00 to 11:00 AM at Faith United Methodist Church where her celebration of life will be conducted at 11:00 AM.
The family would like to thank the staff at Safe Haven Assisted Living and Gentiva Hospice for their care of Betty.

"Sister Betty A. May, although I, [your Resurrection Power Ministries' born-again parishioner,] Mr. James C. Robinson III, am sorry to have missed you since this same date of both my elderly paternal aunt's then-'70th birthday' & our late Robinson dog(Midnight)'s '8th Passing Anniversary' last year, still, I'm very glad that: blessed are you to be up in our Heavenly Country forever with the LORD God, Most High Who'd granted you everlasting life through only His Divine Son, our risen Lord Jesus Christ of Glory, in Whom you've believed! Oh & 'Happy 1st Advent week (hope)' [though actually, it began yesterday]! Hallelujah!"
