Betty Jo Heurtevant

With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life well lived, we announce the passing of Betty Heurtevant, a devout Christian, loving mother, and cherished grandmother, who went home to be with her Lord and Savior on December 05, 2025 at the age of 84. Betty was born on January 12, 1941 in Pitkin Louisiana.

She was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Sulphur until her health declined. Betty lived her life with a steadfast faith that guided every step she took. Her love for God radiated through her kindness, generosity, and the quiet strength she shared with all who knew her. She was a woman of prayer, grace, and unwavering hope who was always ready with a comforting word, a gentle smile, or a reminder of God’s faithfulness.

As a mother, Betty poured her heart into her family. She raised her children with patience, wisdom, and unconditional love. Betty created a home where faith was lived out and love was felt deeply. As a grandmother, she was a source of joy, warmth, and inspiration. She took great joy in celebrating every milestone, encouraging every dream, and offering a lap that was always open and arms that were always embracing. Betty was blessed with remarkable creativity. She loved sewing, painting, and making beautiful, handcrafted baskets, an art in which she excelled. Her dedication and talent earned her countless awards over the years, and her creations became treasured gifts that carried her warmth and artistry into the homes of those she loved. She also loved cooking for her family and friends. Her kitchen was a place of comfort, good food, and laughter. Her legacy is one of faith, love, and service. She touched countless lives through her church, Bible studies she hosted in her home, her volunteer work, and her unwavering devotion to those around her. Whether through a homemade meal, a heartfelt prayer, or a simple act of kindness, Betty made the world gentler and brighter.

Betty leaves to cherish her memory: her sons, John Heurtevant and wife Elizabeth of Moss Bluff, Marcus Heurtevant and wife Kristi of Sulphur; four grandchildren, Jonathan Nunez, Shawn Nunez, Vivian Heurtevant, and Garrett Heurtevant. Betty is preceded in death by her beloved husband, John Lee Heurtevant Jr, her parents Marcus Deason and Estelle Deason, her brothers Roger Deason and Bobby Deason, and her sister Peggy Smith.
