Betty Hagewood

Betty Hagewood, a vibrant and fiercely loving soul, departed this life on September 15, 2025, at her home with Gentiva Hospice, leaving behind a legacy filled with warmth, laughter, and occasional sass that could rival the most spirited of rattlesnakes. Born on March 14, 1956, in Marshall County, Tennessee, Betty's early years were marked by a tenacity and spirited personality that would define her throughout her life.

As a devoted wife and a loving grandmother, Betty found immense joy in her family. She is survived by her beloved husband, Johnny Hagewood, whose love and companionship enriched her life in countless ways. Together, they navigated the ups and downs of life, sharing in moments that strengthened their bond. Betty's heart swelled with pride for her grandchildren: Alyssa Bailey Hagewood, Maleigha Kaysee Hagewood, and Ethan Hagewood. She cherished the time spent with them, filling their lives with stories, laughter, and a loving hand that encouraged them to be the best versions of themselves.

Betty’s spirit will be forever echoed by those who knew her. While she could have a sharp tongue and a strong opinion, it was all part of her charm. She embraced life fully, with an open heart that welcomed every moment, both joyful and challenging. Her love was a guiding force, and she made it known that family always came first — a lesson she instilled in her loved ones.

Betty’s journey was not without its sorrows. She was preceded in death by her father, William Rogers, and her mother, Mary Willoughby, both of whom played significant roles in nurturing her indomitable spirit. Their memory lives on through her enduring legacy of love and resilience.

As the sun sets on the life of Betty Hagewood, we remember her as a woman of strength, laughter, and an unmatched capacity to love deeply. Her presence will be sorely missed, yet her spirit will continue to inspire and guide her family through every chapter of their lives. In this profound moment of loss, we celebrate the life of a remarkable woman who taught us all the importance of radical love and unapologetic honesty. Betty, may you find peace, and may your love continue to shine down upon us.
