He and his wife Betty owned and operated "Miss Betty's", a fine restaurant and bakery. Jerry Morton loved and adored his wife Betty and their son Billy Glenn.

Jerry spent his days talking about how special his wife Betty was to him. After losing his wife Betty, Jerry became a caretaker for his brother Paul.

He would share with those around him what a blessed life the Lord had given him!
