Betty Jean Morris was born on January 8, 1945 to the late Forest and Naomi Morris.  Betty was born in Cleveland, Ohio but was raised in the Fairmont Community of Griffin, Georgia.  She grew up in a loving home with one brother & six sisters.  Betty loved God and accepted Christ at an early age.

Betty graduated from Fairmont High School in 1964, with determination and hard work she attended Griffin Technical College. She majored in nursing and graduated as a Registered Nurse "RN" in 1970.  She worked for over 30 years at Personal Growth Center and Sunbridge Care and Rehab Center.

Betty retired in 2002 from physically being present to serve the Griffin Community.  However, her commitment to family and friends never ceased.  Everyone would call or come by when their health seems to face any challenges.
