Elizabeth “Betty” Holton Binkley went home to be with her Lord and Savior on May 6, 2019. She was born in Forsyth County on February 25, 1925 to the late John Q. and Clara Carmichael Holton. Betty graduated from Reynolds High School. She worked at Blue Cross Blue Shield for 43 years, the majority of that as their office manager. In her spare time, Betty could be found knitting, reading her Bible, or spending time with her loving family.
Betty loved the Lord Jesus Christ. She trusted Christ at the age of 13 following tent meetings with Lester Wilson. She spent the rest of her life living for the Lord and trusting in Him for everything. He never failed!
