BIOGRAPHY: Mrs. Gorson was born July 7, 1924, to Byron and Lora Wren in Snyder, Texas, and was reared in Colorado City, Texas. She married Dr. Robert Gorson, Sr., on April 2, 1948 in Washington, D.C. He preceded her in death on December 12, 2004. She was very proud to be a minister's wife with all the duties it involved. She especially enjoyed working with the youth. Betty was a gentle and loving mother, and a wonderful friend to many. She was a very dear friend to many people and spent many hours listening to their joys and sorrows, and helping them work through their problems. Betty loved to cook for others. She was well-known for her homemade spaghetti sauce, pecan pies, chocolate cakes and peanut brittle. She mailed many pecan pies and batches of peanut brittle to friends and family. We will greatly miss her; but we know she is happy to be at home with her Lord and Savior. When we grieve, it will be for ourselves and not for her, as she is with her loved ones that passed before her. Betty is preceded in death by her parents: Byron and Lora; 2 sisters, Lovena and Polly; and 1 brother, Wendell. SURVIVORS: 2 sons: Robert Thomas Gorson, Jr., and wife Myglo of Taft, California, and Ronald Paul Gorson of Salem, Missouri; 2 grandchildren: Robert Thomas Gorson, III and wife Gina of Santa Anna, California, and Andrea Kohut and husband Brian of Salem, Missouri; 1 great-grandson: Brian Kohut; many nieces, nephews and cousins.
