TRIBUTES

BARBARA TREVENA, REDRUTH

EVERYONE who met Barbara understood what holiness looked like in the life of a believer. Barbara’s love and kindness were examples to others and had a great influence on many people; her life was a testimony to the Lord she loved and served all her life. She was a lifelong Salvationist at Redruth, being born to Salvationist parents. She faithfully served as corps secretary for 49 years and was a bandswoman and songster. She also worked with the young people and as a herald for many years in both Redruth and Helston. Barbara is deeply missed by family and friends.

Well done, good and faithful servant! – LG

BETTY EMERSON, RUSHDEN

BETTY Scholes was born into a Salvationist family in 1933 and devoted herself to the Army her entire life. Blessed with a beautiful singing voice, she performed at countless Salvation Army events locally and overseas. Betty married Bill Emerson and they had two sons, Martin and Stuart. Betty’s service to Rushden Corps was tireless and included running the ladies fellowship, being a company guard leader, deputy songster leader and over-60 secretary for more than 20 years.

Her ministry also included leading Sunday school at Higham Ferrers Outpost and visiting many care homes, where her outstanding voice and love of God were a blessing to many.

Betty will be for ever remembered as a fine Christian lady who loved her Lord with all her heart. Her faith was at the forefront of whatever she did. Rushden Corps, her family and her many friends mourn her loss greatly. – BP
