Betty Jean Hargett, born May 7, 1938, age 83, of Stockbridge, GA, a spirited and gracious woman, closed her eyes to this life, and opened them in heaven on Saturday, March 12, 2022. She was dearly loved by her family. Betty was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Stockbridge. GA. She was retired from Baptist Inn Retirement Home where she loved all the residents and they loved her.
Betty loved to be outdoors, working in the yard, gardening, crafts, shop, vacations in the mountains, historic sites, canning, game shows, Family Feud, Dancing with Stars, America's Funniest Videos, word search, the Gaither's, watching you tube funnies and music, cooking for the family and her grandchildren. She loved to gamble with her son before they repented and enjoyed fishing with Aunt Jean and the kids in the 1970s. She enjoyed Facetime with Junior most every night at 7, following family on Facebook, and was very uplifting and entertaining. If we were in discussion and wanted to know more, she would say "google it." Betty loved baseball and was an avid Brave's fan.
Betty was the eldest child of four. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, Aunt, cousin and a lifelong, loyal friend to many. Betty loved her family and always stepped up to help when needed.
She was preceded in death by her parents, George E. and Carrie Jewel Pierce of Stockbridge, GA; her husband, Ralph Hargett; her brothers, Troy Pierce and Jimmy Pierce.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her children, daughter, Robin Gibson of Hampton, Ga and her son, David Hargett of Stockbridge, GA; her granddaughter, Christy (Spencer) Pickett and great grandson, David Spencer Pickett Junior and adopted great grandson, Braylen Pickett of Covington, GA; her brother, Roy (Brenda) Pierce of Melbourne, FL; Aunt, Emily D'Onofrio of Acworth; Uncle, Dan Harris (Victoria) of Monticello; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
Some dear friends called her Moma and some of her cousins called her Aunt Betty. She loved everybody and would always say, if she had the money, she would open a home for the orphaned children and call it Grannie's Place.
Our world will be empty until we meet again. So, until then, Moma, we will love you forever!
