“I was born on the Burson Ranch, in an upstairs bedroom April 18, 1924.” The Burson Ranch was 3 1/2 miles south of Stegall, Nebraska. Her parents were Rollie Herbert Miller and Leona Woneta Prideaux Miller.
Jacob Rexius’ smile won her heart! Their wedding day was January 2, 1943. Four children were blessed to have them as their parents.
Betty Jo was a lovely, loving lady. She was creative, artistic and an extraordinary bread maker. She was a faithful mighty prayer warrior. If she knew you-- she prayed for you.
At the age of 15 Betty Jo “stood up” for Jesus at a country Revival meeting.
Embracing mom in heaven are her parents, her sister Shirley Mae, her brothers Keith and Jack, her husband Jake, her son Jackie Lee, her grandson Aaron and many other loved people.
Cherishing her memory are her daughter Beverly Jean, her daughter Carole Ann and her husband Don Young, her son Daniel Jacob and his love Rose Huber, her grandchildren Jennifer and Will, her sister Peggy Thiel, nieces and nephews.
In Betty Jo’s loving words, “God bless you, each of you, and keep you ever growing closer to Him.”
