Betty Hardy

October 14, 1931 — March 26, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Betty Jean Hardy, who left us on March 26, 2025, at the age of 93. Born on October 14, 1931, in Woodlawn, LA, Betty lived a vibrant life filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories.

A devoted homemaker, she dedicated her life to her family and created a warm and welcoming home in Lake Charles, LA. Betty took great pride in raising her children, Jonathan (Emily) Hardy and Ellen (Gary) Cannon, Karla (Tommy) Smith, Harold (Brenda) Hardy, Jr. and was an adoring grandmother to her many grandchildren: Harold Hardy III, Evan Hardy, David Hardy, Ross Hardy, Erica Reed, Brock Smith, Brant Smith, Cody Cannon, and Christy Morningstar. Her legacy continues with her beloved great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy: Kelsey Hanks, Samantha Reed, Summer Morningstar, Ritter Cannon, Paige Hardy, Hannah Hardy, Reece Hardy, Bryce Hardy, Natalie Hardy, Beckham Hardy, Kane Smith, Kinlee Smith, Kohen Smith and one great great grandchild, Scarlett Hanks.

Family was everything to Betty; she also leaves behind her brother, Gwendell Witherwax, who will cherish their memories together.
