Bettye Jo Bain
Arlington, TX – Bettye Jo Bain passed away peacefully, on February 14, 2015 in Arlington TX. She was born on March 21, 1930 in Alexandra LA. Preceded in death by her husband and long time companion, Nathan V. Bain in 2005; Bettye is survived by her children, Nathan L. Bain, Lila L. Sanford, Jacquelyn Bain and Debra L. Noel; her grandchildren, David Bain, Steven Bain, Diane Stewart, Robert Morrice, Jacqui Knapp, Courtney Bain and Jon Bain. She is also survived by 18 great-grandchildren and one sister, Lillian Powers, who resides in San Antonio, TX. Bettye spent most of her adult life in southern California, where she traveled with her husband, Nathan Bain in the early ’50s with his Navy career, where she raised her four children. There were a few short years outside southern California, Bettye resettled in Chula Vista just prior to Nathan’s death in 2005, with long time friend Rozanna Sproles. Bettye then moved to Texas to live with her son, Nathan Lee Bain and his wife Becky, in 2011 after the death of Ms. Sproles. Bettye spent a life giving to others, from being a foster mother to two Native Indian girls, to being a Boy Scout Den Mother, to being a house mother for OakGlen Girls School in Ramona, Ca, to knowing Nathan would bring home a young Navy seaman for a holiday meal and always being prepared. Bettye will be missed by not only her family, but by many friends and people that she has touched throughout her long and blessed life.
