Betty Ruth Morgan Jack/Class of 1956
Betty Ruth Morgan Jack, 83, of Kittanning, passed away on Sunday, April 3, 2022,
at her home.
She was born August 8, 1938, in Worthington, a daughter of the late William M.
Sr. and L. Caroline (Houser) Morgan, and was a lifelong resident of the
community.
She was a 1956 graduate of Worthington-West Franklin High School, Worthington,
PA.
She formerly worked as a bus driver and was a licensed insurance agent.
She married Delmar E. Jack on April 19, 1958.
She was of the Presbyterian faith.
Betty was a sports enthusiast, whether baseball, football, ice skating, or
gymnastics. She enjoyed any and all sports, whether in person or on TV and was
one of the biggest fans at her grandchildren’s events.
Betty enjoyed the “good ole” shows, the days of Doris Day, Bing Crosby, Dick
Van Dyke, and Carol Burnette, with Elvis Presley being a favorite. She also had
a love for musicals. It could be Broadway, community theatre, local high
schools, or church musicals; she didn’t want to miss a performance.
After many years of devotion and sacrifice to her family, Betty was able to
enjoy some traveling, the highlights being trips to Europe, Hawaii, cruises, and
hiking down the Grand Canyon at the age of 68. She started training for the
endurance of the trip down the Grand Canyon and continued on for many years to
enjoy training with many friends including Mindy and Sharon.
Betty’s family is very thankful to Good Samaritan Hospice for their guidance,
reassurance, and care during their time with Mom. They are most appreciative to

mom’s needs as well as for helping to brighten her days and navigation
