Betty Joyce (Butts) Hewgley was born in Nashville, TN on June 16th, 1932. She passed away in Hendersonville, TN on August 9th, 2026, at the age of 94. Betty was a proud 1951 alumni of Isaac Litton High School. From a young age she enjoyed playing many sports. She played golf, racquet ball, volleyball, bowling, and practically anything else she could sign up for! She earned many trophies throughout her life but the oldest one she had was a championship bowling trophy she earned in high school. Betty enjoyed playing games with her family and bingo in her later years. At home in her free time, she loved to watch Vanderbilt Commodores football and the Atlanta Braves baseball.

Betty had a wonderful personality and never knew a stranger. She was friends with everyone she met. She always had a smile on her face and was laughing just before her final breath. Although Betty is gone, her memory will forever reside within the ones she knew and loved.
