Betty Jo Hogan

Betty Jo Hogan, of Palestine, Texas, went to her heavenly home on Saturday, the 7^th day of November 2026, at the age of 68. She was born in Bonham, Texas on the 6^th day of October 1958 to parents Jerrial Baugh and Francis McDonald Baugh.

Betty had a caring heart and would do just about anything for anyone. Her family was her everything, and she loved each of them with all her heart. She found joy in the simple things in life, especially baking, crafting, and making special gifts for the people she loved. She enjoyed putting thought and love into everything she did and was happiest when she could make someone else smile. One of her favorite things was going to the casinos with her beloved husband, making memories and enjoying their time together.

Betty was the kind of person you could always count on. She was a great listener, always willing to lend an ear, offer a shoulder to cry on, or give a little advice when it was needed. She never hesitated to show up for the people she cared about and had a way of making everyone feel welcome and loved. Her kindness, generosity, and loving spirit were just a few of the things that made her so special. Betty loved everyone and will be remembered for the love she gave, the memories she made, and the special place she held in so many hearts.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 52 years Willie Hogan, Jr.; parents, Jerrial and Francis Baugh; and her sister, Kathy Donahou.

Mrs. Hogan is survived by her loving daughter, Rebecca Hogan; sons, Marcus Hogan and wife Jessica, Russell Houck, Brandon Williams; sisters, Judy Donahou, Rhonda Donahou, Sheryl Baugh, Shanna Baugh; and brothers, Jimmy Donahou, Bill Donahou, Wayne Baugh, Danny Baugh, and John Jarrett. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Kimberly Vandevander, Kylie West, Timothy Hogan, Weston Neal, Mercedes Hogan; and her great-grandchildren Brilyn Vandevander and Porter Neal.
