Betty Jean O’Donnell

Betty Jean O’Donnell, 85, a resident of Houston, TX left this world November 04, 2021. She came into this world June 01, 1936, in Port Arthur, TX where she grew up and then moved to Houston.

Betty reunites with her husband of 49 years, James Joseph O’Donnell; grandson, Connor Lane; parents, Humberto, and Jean Morales; brothers, Carl Morales and Joe Morales.

She leaves her daughter, Elizabeth Kelly Lane, husband Dennis; son, James Michael O’Donnell; grandchildren: Elizabeth O’Donnell, Aiden O’Donnell, Ronan O’Donnell, Kiera O’Donnell, Brody Lane, Cooper Lane; sister, Audrey Goff, husband Don; brother, Lawney Morales, wife Janie; sisters-in-law: Arlene Baranda, Rose Licce, and Betty Sprouse.

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.
