Mrs. Brown rested from this life peacefully at home on August 25, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones at the age of 93 years. She was born in Baton Rouge and lived in the Central area for most of her life.

She graduated from Central High School in 1949, with valedictorian honors and received a full scholarship to LSU. She decided instead to begin a family; Betty’s greatest joy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Throughout her life she held a strong faith that guided her every step in life. She loved watching LSU sports, especially football and baseball. She was a lifelong member of Zoar Baptist Church.

She was preceded in death by her husband Carvin H. Brown Sr., a son Steven C. Brown, her parents Julius A. and Ida B Curtis, and a sister Norma McAdams (Bob).

Survivors include her children Rickie Bliss (Bill), and Hal Brown (Carl), her daughter-in-law Diane Brown, special beloved nieces Becky Lenoir and Betty McAdams “Boopie” Miley, grandchildren Todd Elkins (Chrissy), Angie Coates (Darren), Charli Brown, and a host of other grandchildren and great grandchildren. Heartfelt appreciation for her special lifelong devoted friend Loretta Gibbens.

Honored to serve as pallbearer her great grandson Colin Coates.
