Betty Blackstone, Age 102

Betty Blackstone is our oldest. She tells a story of great courage and devotion. She moved by herself to China at age 21 to become a missionary. Dividing her time between a church home in Pasadena and staying with her 66-year-old-daughter, Betty likes to play the piano and reminisce about her adventures. Though her physical body is failing, her spirit is very much intact.
