We bid farewell to Betty Sue Harding, 82, of Big Stone Gap VA, a true friend and beacon of God’s light, who departed from this world on October 24, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and kindness.
Betty walked through life with a gentle strength, touching the lives of everyone she encountered with an unforgettable grace. She will be most remembered by her humble voice and her eagerness to pray with anyone at any time. She was full of grace and love. Betty was someone that would give advice and would lend an ear to anybody who needed someone to talk to. She was a light that shined for Christ everywhere she went. Truly a selfless woman who had a heart of gold. Betty was born on March 5, 1942 in Wise Co. VA. She has been a dedicated member of Full Gospel Church in Jesus Name for more than 40 years.
