Betty Jean Mennen, 92, of Lafayette, died on Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 2:20 AM at the Creasy Springs Health Campus. She had been a resident there for 3.5 years.
Born on April 23, 1927 in Lafayette, she was the daughter of the late Ralph and Evangeline Swatts. She was a 1946 graduate of Lafayette Jefferson High School.
Betty and Robert C. "Bob" Mennen (deceased 6-8-2010) were married on October 12, 1946.
In the early years, Betty helped her husband operate a small farm on the east side of Lafayette near where Vinton Woods is today. They eventually added a wholesale food business that they operated from their small farm. Years later, Betty helped her husband build Century 21 Mennen Realty.
Betty was an avid gardener for most of her life and would fill her yard each Spring with as many flowers as she could find room for. If it wasn’t flower season, then that meant antiques. She was an enthusiastic collector of old furniture and collectibles.
Betty’s true passion in life, though, was always her husband and their children. She was the mother of three children. Betty also has nine grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and one sister. She is preceded in death by a sister, Patricia Mozley.
Visitation will be from 10:00-11:00 AM on Monday January 20, 2020 at Soller-Baker Lafayette Chapel with funeral service to follow at 11:00 AM. Interment will be at Rest Haven Memorial Park.
