Betty Jean

Lewis

Betty Jean Lewis, age 92, of Hendersonville, Tennessee, passed away on November 10, 2026. She was born on May 24, 1934, in Nashville, Tennessee, to the late John William and Lesa Erma Berry.

Betty took great pride in her work and dedicated many years of her life to her career as a dental assistant, working for Dr. Grady Bryant, DDS, until well into her 70s. She truly loved what she did and found great joy in staying busy. Outside of work, Betty enjoyed tending to her yard and planting flowers, creating beauty wherever she could. She also loved square dancing, a hobby she enjoyed for many years. Betty was a member of First Baptist Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

One of the most special parts of Betty's life was her relationship with her best friend and the love of her life, Jim Watson, who preceded her in death.

In addition to her parents and Jim, Betty was preceded in death by her son, Jeff Lewis; and her siblings, JW Berry, Buddy Berry, Helen DeSheles, and Christine Smith.

She is survived by her daughter, Kim Baughn (Jeremy); grandchildren, Cayla Jimenez (Manny) and Spencer Baughn (Scarlett); great-grandson, Reid Alan Baughn; and many nieces, nephews, neighbors, and dear friends who will cherish her memory.

The family will receive friends at Hendersonville Funeral Home on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. A graveside service will follow at Hendersonville Memory Gardens, 353 E. Main Street, Hendersonville, Tennessee 37075.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
