Racine, Wisconsin – Mother Betty Jo (nee: Slade) Ramsey entered this life March 26, 1941, in Strong, Arkansas. She was the second daughter and fourth child born to George Slade and Carrie Bell (nee: Harrison) Slade. She became absent from her body and present with the Lord on Monday, January 24, 2022.
In 1959, Betty was a graduate of Lake Village Central High School in Lake Village, Arkansas. The summer after graduation she moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she worked as a nurse’s aide. She would later become the owner operator of the first ever black-owned daycare in Racine, the Mother Goose Daycare Center. She retired from the University of Wisconsin Extension Food and Nutrition program where she worked as a nutrition educator teaching young mothers how to properly feed their families.
In 1960, Betty got saved at the Mount Sinai Church of God in Christ under Pastor O.C. Davis. A year later September 9, 1961, Betty was joined in marriage to George Franklin Ramsey Sr., in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and from this union came six beautiful children.
George and Betty founded Shiloh Stronghold Church of God in Christ (Racine) and pastored Rose of Sharon Deliverance Church (Milwaukee) where they served the communities and brought many to know and love the Lord Jesus Christ.
Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Apostle George F. Ramsey Sr.; Parents, George and Carrie Slade; brothers, George Slade, Michael Slade, and George Slade Jr. (nephew AKA Baby Junior); sisters, Florial (Johnny) Wilson, Gwen Franklin, and Marie (George) Leazer.

Ramsey (Raquel), and Sarai V. Ramsey; nine grandchildren: Elisha N.R. Ramsey, Rachael C. Ramsey, Alexander F. Ramsey, Aaron F. Ramsey, Brielle E.J. Ramsey, Elaija F.J. Ramsey, Tevin G. Ramsey, Elecia E.A. Ramsey, and Austin F. Ramsey; two great grandchildren: Carter W. Ramsey and Cataleya R.

Shirley Banks, from Fort Worth Texas says
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. We are confident and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. May you, Mother Ramsey’s children find comfort in knowing that your beautiful mother is resting in the Lord. May God continue to keep you in His care.
