Betty Couvillion Peltier Derveloy, 76, entered the gates of Heaven on September 
23, 2010, after a brief bout with cancer.

Betty, a Rayne native, and a long time resident of Centerville, graduated from 
Louisiana College with a B.S. in Nursing and from Nicholls State University with 
a B.S. in Education. She retired from teaching in the St. Mary Parish School 
System in 1986. Betty continued her service to others as a church organist for 
the last 52 years and as an expert horticulturist and gardener alongside her 
husband, providing plants, fruits, and vegetables to countless others.

Betty is survived by her husband, Thomas Derveloy, daughter Jan Smith and 
companion Jimmy Shuflin all of Centerville, son Guy Peltier and his wife Connie, 
of Spring, Texas. In addition, she loved her four stepchildren, Tommy Derveloy 
of Lafayette, Julie (Jimmy) Dauzat of Sunset, Jean (Bob) Cobb of Lafayette, and 
Linda (Laj) Carroll of Broussard. She was blessed to have 14 grandchildren and 
13 great-grandchildren. Betty was preceded in death by her late husband, Guy 
Peltier Sr., parents Louis (Dutch) and Bertha Couvillion, as well as her infant 
baby sister.

Visitation will be held Friday, September 24, 2010 at Ibert's Mortuary in

Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, September 25th at 11am at the First

Burial will follow in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Centerville.

The family of Mrs. Derveloy would like to express their sincere thanks to 
Doctors Cuatro and Renaldi, Iberia Medical Center, and especially to all of the 
gracious care givers who provided such comfort to Betty during her last days.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Baptist
