Betty Lou Blain

Betty Lou Blain, born on November 12, 1943, passed away on November 14, 2025. A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Betty's life was defined by her strength, strong will, love for her family and the cherished moments they shared together.

Visitation will be from 1:30 p.m. -2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, followed by Entombment at 2:00 p.m. at Chapel Hill Memorial Park in Robinson, Texas with Minister Mary Henley officiating. The family asks that all attending wear their Baylor attire to represent her favorite team.

She is survived by her sister, Darlene Hardy, her son and daughter-in-law, Larry and Gloria Blain; her daughter and son in law, Myrna and Matt Mattson; and her daughter and son in law, Tonya and Kevin Strain. Betty's legacy continues through her grandchildren: Derek Blain, Daylon Blain, Brianna and Barrett Browning, Rylie and Matt Gonzales, Blain and Mina Coker, and Kyndall Coker. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Brayden Browning, Blakely Browning, Lane Gonzales, Olivia Blain, Cooper Blain, Carter Blain, and Maverick Blain.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father Violet (Granny) and Dearl (Pa) Barnett and brother Wayne Barnett.

As a grandmother, Betty found immense joy in watching her grandkids and great-grandkids pursue their passions. She delighted in attending their dance and cheer performances and cheering on the boys during baseball and football games. Betty was also the one who taught all her grandchildren to drive, whether it was behind the wheel of a car or on her scooter. One of her favorite traditions was the annual Christmas cookie-making session, where she would gather her family to bake together always including a flour fight and make everyone listen to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers Christmas album—a tradition that her children will carry on in her memory.

Betty was a beloved member of Mighty Wind Worship, where she found community and support. She cherished the visits from Minister Mary Henley, Pastor Sarah, and other members who took the time to see her and pray over her. Betty often spoke fondly of Pastor Joe, Pastor Mary, and Pastor Derrick, expressing her gratitude for their blessings and the care they provided to her and granny.

Betty was such a good listener, very wise giving you advice without telling you what to do and never judged (unless the umpire called a bad call). Her laughter, unwavering support and even her shrugs and eye rolls (which she was still doing right up to the end) will be profoundly missed by all who knew her. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family, and they will honor her legacy by continuing the traditions she so lovingly established.
