Betty Jane Morris, 86, of Berwick, La., passed away Thursday, Aug. 22, 2013, at her home.
She was born Aug. 5, 1927, at Commerce, Mo., to Willie and Gladys Wright. She was a former resident of Scott City and several communities in Florida.
One of her greatest joys in life was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, "her sweet angels." She loved cooking for her family; every meal was like a Thanksgiving spread. She will always be remembered as a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother.
She is survived by two sons, Jack Gaddis and wife Ann of Fort Myers, Fla., and Jerry Gaddis Sr. and wife Charlene of Morgan City, La.; six grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren; and a great-great-granddaughter.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William K. Morris; former husband, Carl D. Warren; a daughter, Carla Ruth Laumer; two sisters and a brother.
The family of Betty would like to extend a special thanks to her caregivers, Linda Rhineholt, Peggy Leblanc and Jackie Lejeune.
The funeral was Saturday at Hargrave Funeral Home in Morgan City. Burial will be in Morgan City Cemetery.
