Betty was born March 27, 1932 to Cecil and Ovie Golden in Downsville.
She met her Jesus on December 7, 2023 in Ruston surrounded by her family.
She was a lifelong member of Downsville Baptist Church where she faithfully served in many roles, including treasurer, WMU Director, Pianist, Church Hostess, Church Secretary, tirelessly preparing meals on Wednesday night for the children and youth as well as a dedicated prayer warrior. She saw a need in the community of a ministry to provide food and clothing for people in need, thus Helping Hands Ministry was founded. She worked each week for 34 years at Helping Hands up until her death. She was active in many other areas, including serving on the Downsville Cemetery Committee and Cattleman's Association. She was a homemaker but she also, along with her husband, ran the family cattle and poultry farm. She loved her family and loved family gatherings. She attended every event possible that her children, grand-children and great-grandchildren were involved in. Her family brought her joy and you knew she loved each member of her family deeply.
Betty is preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband of 49 years, Robert Taylor Aswell.
She is survived by her children, Harold (Laurie) Aswell of Baton Rouge, Tommy (Sharra) Aswell, Cathy (Randy) Butler and John (Serena) Aswell all of Downsville; 9 grand-children, Lauren Aswell, Anna Aswell (fiancée Joshua Horton), Andrew (Erin) Aswell, Amy (Lane) Coleman, Christopher (Ashley) Butler, Michael (Becca) Butler, Kimberly (Jonathan) King, Jordan Aswell (fiancée Cameron Zaricor), and Morgan Aswell; 9 great-grandchildren, Brooks Aswell, Jacob Coleman, Makenzie Coleman, Lucas Coleman, Mason Coleman, Lucy Butler, Ben Butler, Ella Jane Butler, Collin King and very special great-grandchild Nick.
