Betty Jean Johnson Owens

Betty Jean Owens, age 69, a lifelong resident of Randolph County but spent her last days in Brunswick County, passed away peacefully at her home on July 21, 2025.

Born on August 13, 1955, in Randolph County, she was the daughter of the late Ira F. Johnson and Nancy Trogdon.

Betty was a woman who never met a stranger and gave freely of her time to help anyone in need. She loved her family deeply, especially her children and grandchildren, and was a devoted caretaker throughout her life. Known for her sass and sense of humor, Betty brought warmth and light into every room she entered. Though she had a strong dislike for water, she absolutely loved to fish. Her chicken casserole was a favorite at family gatherings. She was a woman of faith who cherished her church and the community within it. Betty had friends from all walks of life and lived simply but meaningfully, always putting family first.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Jane Burrow; her brother, Mike Johnson; and her grandson, Brannon Tyson.

Left to cherish her memory are her children: Karen Feaster (Ray), Nancy Owens, Terry Owens (Christal), and Scottie Owens (Stephanie); grandchildren: April Owens, Seth Feaster, Micandria Feaster, Brittanica Feaster, Jalen Davis, Kelsea Owens, Garrett Owens, Reagan Owens, Jonah Owens, Bentley Owens, and Lincoln Owens; and her lifelong friend, Duckie Callicutt.

The family will receive friends Friday, July 25, 2025 from 12:00 - 1:50 PM at Pugh Funeral Home, 600 S. Main Street. Funeral services will follow at 2:00 PM in the Eddie Pugh Memorial Chapel. Burial will conclude at Country Holiness Cemetery.

Pugh Funeral Home in Randleman is honored to serve the Owens family.
