Betty Arlene May, age 78 of Delton passed away on December 1, 2024. Betty was born on June 20, 1946 in Hastings the daughter of Garry and Lydia (Peake) Rohm. For many years, Betty demonstrated unyielding compassion as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) at Pennock and Borgess, tenderly caring for those in their most vulnerable hours. She was also employed at Viking Corp. in Hastings for several years.
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'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.
