Ms. Betty Brown passed away from this life on Monday, July 18, 2022, at Woodland Village Nursing Center in Diamondhead, MS. She was born on February 19, 1934 in Bogue Chitto, MS to Otis and Thelma Brown. Ms. Betty enjoyed life to the fullest. As a teenager, she was an all-star basketball player for Bogue Chitto High school. She traveled around the country in her fifth wheel but her heart and home was always in MS with her family. She had a laugh that was contagious and her smile would light up any room. All who love her will dearly miss her but we take comfort in knowing we will see her again soon.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Otis and Thelma Brown; her child, James Gregory Boling; and her brother, James Brown.

Survivors are her children, Pattie Cospelich and spouse Matt, Pam Taylor and spouse Henry, Paula McCullough and spouse Dennis, and Peggy Camp. She has 11 grandchildren, Candie Cospelich, Tina Swanier, April Burris, Jennifer Miller, Nathan Boling, Megan Boling, Aundrea Lassere, Macee Boling, Makenzie Boling, McKinley Boling, and Bentley Boling. She has seven great-grandchildren and host of family and friends.

Pallbearers are Dennis McCullough, Aaron Swanier, Darryl Burris, Lee Alexander, and BJ Etheridge.

“As it takes a village,” the family would like to send a heartfelt thank you to the entire staff at Woodland Village Nursing Center in Diamondhead MS.
