Ona Bartlett was married to Pastor Bob Bartlett. Tney served as pastors of Living Waters Church in Phoenix for 25 years. Before coming to Phoenix, they traveled with their three children for six and a half years and are the founders of a very important missionary outreach, "KIDS International." They took young people to third-world countries for a week of missions on the streets, in the parks and in local churches in the evenings for ministry. Many young people received their calling to full time ministry on these trips, and are now missionaries all over the world.

In the 1970's the Bartletts served as directors of Teen Challenge in Philadelphia. They ministered together for fifty years.

Ona went to be with her Lord on October 6, 2011.
