BETTY JEAN SPRATT MONROE, a fourth-generation Jefferson Countian, was a bookkeeper, farm wife and “mother” to many.   Her primary passion was for service to God’s kingdom; she was a faithful member and worker at Waukeenah United Methodist Church and its women’s group.  She had a life-long ministry to the local “down and out,” served as a volunteer missionary and resource-raiser in Haiti, Cuba and Guatemala—she was known there as “Mama Betty.”

Testimonials:

“Betty’s joy for the Lord and His work encouraged me as a young Christian in the early 80s. Our church joined hers for  a revival and the only person that I remember from that was Betty Monroe. Her joy for missions was contagious!

I went to Haiti in 1987 and that is where I surrendered by heart to Christ as Lord. From that point forward I sought how I could serve full- time for Christ! Only God knows how many lives have been impacted by one surrendered life!:        Pastor Steve McHargue
