Mrs. Betty Lou Jason, 80, of Bluffton, formerly of Lakeview, was received into the arms of Heaven’s grace Good Friday, April 10, 2020, after a prolonged illness. She was a resident of the Mennonite Memorial Nursing Home in Bluffton.
Betty was born Jan. 11, 1940 in Cat Spring, Texas, as a fourth generation German-American. A beautiful and joyful child, she grew up with cousins in South Texas before moving to New Albany, Ind.
She married in 1959 and had three children. From l970-1977 Betty lived in Mt. Cory, serving as a pastor’s wife. Betty was a stalwart of her faith. She was the embodiment of grit and persistence in the face of adversity. She was known by all as a devoted mother and a loyal friend. Every job Betty held in her lifetime was one of service to others. She will be terribly missed.
Betty is preceded in death by her husband Mr. Larry Jason of Byseville (2004), her mother Mrs. Hilda Davis of Lakeview (2008) and her son Michael Eugene Brown of Lakeview (2012). She is survived by her son, Mr. John Paul Brown of Lakeview, her daughter Dr. Sherry Dean Rovelo and son-in-law Mr. Carlos Rovelo of Dallas, Texas.
Betty’s family extends their sincere praise and gratitude for the compassionate care she received at the Bluffton Mennonite Memorial Home.
A memorial will be held later this year when the COVID-19 virus abates and Betty’s family and friends can celebrate her life together.
Arrangements are in the care of Shoffstall Funeral Home, Lakeview. Condolences may be expressed at shoffstallfuneralhome.com.
