Betty
Goah
Betty Goah thought
Christians should never “talk the talk” unless they were also willing to
“walk the walk.” And so she devoted her life to walking the way of
Jesus, working tirelessly as a voice for the voiceless and as an
advocate for the powerless.
After attending
Milligan College and Vanderbilt School of Religion, Betty served on
various regional boards and local agencies in Johnson City that assist
and support our most vulnerable neighbors. Her vision, passion, and
persistence inspired all who met her.
Betty was a faithful
member of Thankful Baptist Church in Johnson City, Tennessee, until her
death in March 2006.
