profile


I would like to introduce you to Miss Betty Leonie Sutherland, born January 3, 1948 in Mountainside, St. Elizabeth. Better known as Miss Betty, she settled in Treasure Beach in 1965. She has five children and three step-children, four boys and four girls. Miss Betty has six grandchildren.

Her favourite food is breadfruit and stew beef and her favourite fruit is mango. Her favourite pasttime is looking at and enjoying nature. She is a religious person and been a Jehovah's Witness for over 30 years.

Miss Betty is divorced and when asked if she would get married again, her reply is, "I would not say yes and I would not say no. If the right person came along, maybe."

Her advice to the children of Treasure Beach is to be respectful to others, honest in your dealings with people, and the boys especially, please learn to read and write and keep away from drugs. "Remember your Grand Creator in the days of your youth." Ecclesiates 12:1.

Miss Betty has seen Treasure Beach develop fast into a tourism
community over the past years. When she came to Treasure Beach in 1965 there were only a few guest houses and the Treasure Beach Hotel but now their are a lot of guest houses all over the place and a lot of the young people are getting jobs so it is really a big help to the people of Treasure Beach and the adjoining communities. The tourists enjoy the friendliness of the people in the community.

Miss Betty currently resides in Plainfield, New Jersey, USA with her eldest son and his family, but is enjoying a nice holiday in Treasure Beach visiting with the rest of her family.

Betty, I am thrilled to see you featured on "Profile of the Month". May Jehovah continue to bless you. Here's a poem especially for you

KEEP OUR FRIENDSHIP ALIVE

There's a miracle called Friendship
That dwells in the heart
You don't know how it happens
Or when it gets its start.

But you know the special lift
It always brings
And you realize that Friendship
Is God's most precious gift!

Friends are a very rare jewel indeed.
They make you smile and
encourage you to succeed.

They lend an ear, they share a
word of praise, and they
always want to open their heart to us.
Thank you for your Friendship!

Hi Betty,

Gloria told me your profile was on for the month of July and I was very happy to see you.

I just want to tell you that you are a great woman and deserve all the best that life has to offer. When I reminisce on my childhood I always remember your loving kindness towards me and it is something I will never forget.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and tell you that I love you very much, and wish you all the best.

Love Elsie.

Hi Betty,

It is great to see you and your beautiful grand-daughter Deanna she has grown so much.

Betty, when I think of you I always think of your love. You always displayed unselfish love, you always put the needs and intrests of others ahead of your own and so you made it easy for us to love you. I also admire your zeal in worshiping our Grand Creator Jehovah God.

I agree with Jurdine and Elsie when they said you deserves all the best, all the happiness that life has to offer because you do.
I will always love you. I will talk to you when you return to New Jersey.

Love Gloria.

Auntie Betty,
I have always opened this website to keep abreast with the T/Beach happenings when I'm away. Now more than ever I open it more often to reflect on your beautiful face that ages gracefully each day and think about the stories told to me as a child of you unwrapping my umbilical cord so today I'm alive. Thank you and remain steadfast and unmoveable. I love you with my whole heart.

P.S. Your face is beautiful BUT your inner beauty far surpasses that.

Good job Deanna.

Hi Betty,
It is indeed a pleasure reading about you in the "profile of the month". I am glad you told me about this website and I will visit often to be kept abreast of whats happening in TB. You know how emotional I am and so I sit here with tears streaming down my face as I read the numerous comments by all those who have known you through the years and I share those sentiments totally and I know them all to be reflective of the type of person you are - after all you are my sister, whom I love dearly and can't wait to come to New Jersey to spend time with you all. I encourage you to continue trusting God and be anxious about nothing because we are all in His hands and he takes care of His own. Lots of Love Hazel

Miss Betty,
Nearly 10 years later since I last commented on your profile, but I am still very happy and proud of you and of Dianna for a job well done. You must be very happy having them under the same roof as you now. Unfortunately, I don't get to talk with you daily anymore as I am respecting their time with you. Love you much and God bless!

Hazel
