Betty Ann Coleman Rambin

Betty Ann Rambin, 92, left this world for her eternal heavenly home on August 20, 2024. Due to an irreversible illness and multiple hospitalizations, she was decidedly enrolled in the Four Seasons Hospice Program where she was lovingly and attentively cared for by her two daughters, Donna Rambin and Sherry Rambin in their home. Before retiring, Sherry was a multifaceted RN for 42 years. Donna learned quickly all the skills needed to care for someone with failing health before and during Betty’s hospice status. Her daughters felt such an honor and privilege to care for their Mother in her most intimate times of need. Four Seasons generously provided everything needed in supplies, equipment, medications, nursing, and CNA visits.

Betty Rambin had the brave strength and heart of a lion and the gentleness of a lamb. She was drawn to anyone in need and made great strides and efforts to fill those needs. What Betty did not have available, she would reach out to her many resources to accomplish the tasks at hand.

Betty’s husband was a full-time Baptist minister and an IRS agent during the majority of their 52 years of marriage. She worked alongside her husband within his many different churches which required her to be exposed to and acclimate to not only the demands of a pastor’s wife, and willingly worked alongside the church’s membership.

Betty also worked independently as the Office Manager for an extremely busy Dermatologist in Shreveport, Louisiana. For 17 years, seeing up to 70 patients per day and overseeing up to 20 employees, Betty managed to balance her own work schedule with her home life and the duties of their churches.

There were four things that Betty was known for and fondly remembered by many. She had an enormous sense of humor, was always a ton of fun, pulled the best pranks on people, and she loved fishing. Actually, she could out fish anyone. Her husband was not a fisherman but accompanied her only a few times just to appease her. Living on a large lake in Shreveport, she had a few boats, but her favorite was her pontoon fishing boat. She had it rigged so she could spend really long hours fishing without ever coming home. One particular outing, her preacher husband confessed that he made a request to God to please let him miraculously walk on water, just that one time, because that was the only way he could get back home. Request was denied. But they enjoyed a huge fish dinner the next day.

In 1990, Betty developed a very rare form of cancer that was ever documented by only 2% of the population. There was no treatment nor cure and her doctors sent her home on strong pain meds with an estimated 6-12 months to live. Her husband made phone calls around the world seeking help from anyone, but no doctor or medical treatment was available nor proven. So her husband and daughters turned to the only Healer who WAS available. God the Great Physician miraculously healed her nine months later which left the doctors and any unbelievers baffled AND a believer. Betty was then invited by many different churches to give her personal testimony of healing and the journey she made to find it. As a result, she became a living witness to the greatness of our God.

Betty has lived a fulfilling life, primarily in service to others. Those who knew her will never forget her and for all the right reasons. God healed her of that particular cancer, but at the age of 92, she developed a different disease and He has called her home. One day when it’s our turn, we will join her there.

Her favorite scripture was found in Proverbs 3: 5-6. It says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths”.

She will be laid to rest alongside her husband in Jena, La. No plans for a funeral service at this time. If you wish to make a donation in memory of her, she supported ABCCM in Asheville or you may donate in her memory to the charity of your choice.
