BETTY JETER

Betty was born on July 6, 1934, in Brownfield to Noah Ralph and Elizabeth Pauline Butcher. She passed away on May 10, 2024, at the age of 89. Deeply rooted in her community, Betty spent her life engaged in various pursuits. A skilled seamstress and talented cook, she brought joy to her loved ones with the special quilts she lovingly crafted and the delicious meals she prepared. Her passion for browsing garage and estate sales earned her the reputation of “the greatest picker ever.” In addition to her talents, Betty held a deep faith and was an active member of the Brownfield Church of Christ. Her love for Christ was a guiding force in her life, and she found solace and community within her church family. Betty was a beloved wife to the late Vandon Leroy Jeter, whom she married on January 10, 1973, in Fredericksburg. A devoted mother, she was known for her caring nature and generous spirit. Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Leroy; two sons, Gaylon Richards and Roy Jeter; grandson, Chris Mullings; great-grandson Alijiah Guerra; a brother; and five sisters. She is survived by three daughters, Sandra Navarro (Santos), Valerie Guerra (Isaac), Kathy Mullings (Henry); two sons, Vic Jeter and Johnny Jeter (Billy); sister, Fay Howell; 12 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and her dear friend and caregiver Margaret Hildebrand and her family.
