OBITUARY Bettie Ruth Newquist November 20, 1926 – September 17, 2018 Betty Ruth Johnson Newquist, 91, entered the arms of Jesus on September 17, 2018. Born on the family farm in Clayton, N. Carolina on November 20, 1926 to Willis Ray Sr. and Agnes Johnson, she was raised with her sister and four brothers in Jacksonville, NC. near Camp Lejeune.

After high school, Betty played the piano for services at the local Baptist Church. In a God appointment, Navy Chaplain David C. Newquist (Bud) from the Camp, a Swede, preached one Sunday at the church. Magnetically they fell in love and were married in L.A. on Sept.

Betty was “practically perfect in every way,” a five star wife & Mom, and always beautiful inside and out, a “mossy rock” – stable and strong but soft and comforting. As an ambassador for Christ, she was a selfless, giving servant who practiced her ministry behind the scenes by example always loving and kind. She was adaptable, fun-loving, and dedicated to her family exemplifying her motto: “Accentuate the positive, minimize the negative”.

She was the Chaplain to the Chaplain and loved Bud with all her heart. They celebrated 60 years of marriage. Surviving are her six children: Carolyn Hardebeck, Sharon Soames (Steve), John David Newquist (Tricia), Patti Sue Anderson (Craig), Mary Ababneh, and Beverly Loughnane (Greg), 11 grandchildren, and 10 greatgrandchildren.
