Her dad was called by God to preach while he was in the Army Air Force when she was a baby. Immediately following his military assignment, they would moved to Louisville, KY, to live at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary until her dad’s graduation. Her dad pastored the First Baptist Churches in Midway and in Paris, Ky.
When she was thirteen the First Baptist Church of West Palm Beach called her dad to pastor the First Baptist Church of Lake Park, Florida, that was their mission at that time. It was there she met her husband, Gary Luckey. They would have four children, ten grandchildren and two great grandsons. They had homes and ranches in Palm Beach County, Okeechobee, and Highlands County, living at their ranch near LaBelle before settling in North Carolina.
Betty spent almost thirty years in law enforcement, as a 911 operator, a police officer, a Sheriff’s Auxilliary deputy, and as a security guard in Nashville at Trinity Broadcast Network. Gary retired from Pratt and Whitney Aircraft in 2000, and Betty in 2004 from the Seminole Indian Police Department at Brighton Reservation, near Okeechobee, Florida.
She was a pastor’s secretary, church pianist, and adult Sunday school teacher at the First Indian Baptist Church at Brighton. She and Gary also owned and operated two restaurants there. In 2019 they moved from Florida and settled into their log home in the Smoky Mountains near Murphy, NC. It was there they became active members at Notla Baptist Church together, singing in the choir.
Gary passed away from the Caronavirus in 2020 and Betty wrote her second book. The first one was published in 2005 about miracles in her life, and was entitled “Operation: Devil’s Garden” by Elizabeth Swan Luckey.lihat lebih sedikit
