Betty Jean had a true gift of sharing joy and laughter to those around her. She genuinely cared about all the people in her life. She lived life to the fullest. She was an incredible mother, a true and caring friend, and the best Nana any kid could dream of. She loved to quilt, and she loved the quilting friends and community that she was active in for over 30 years. But the one thing she loved most of all was her Grandchildren whom she helped raise and showered with love every day.
Mom, you will be loved, remembered, and missed every day of our lives. I wish you red roses and yellow balloons.
A celebration of the life of Betty Jean will be hosted by family at 4838 Hazelton, Houston TX 77035. The celebration will be from 2-5pm, Saturday, November 13, 2021, with a Prayer Service led by Kenneth Hanning at 3:00pm.
