Life Story for Bess Wilhelmina Brackley (Chatson)

Bess was a small town beauty, a preacher’s daughter who married her childhood sweetheart because they would have beautiful babies. They had four of them. Bess devoted her life to her family but her true love was Jesus Christ. And with a generous heart, she shared Him with everyone she met. Even though Bess never fared far from her beloved Muskoka, she planted The Kingdom in her children, their children, and their children’s children and in every stranger who crossed her path. We may not know all their names, but she did, and they are now written in the Book of Life…thanks to Bess Brackley
