THOMPSON, BETTY JEAN 
May 31, 1928 - December 22, 2011

Betty Jean Hamilton Thompson died at River Region Hospice in New Orleans, 
Louisiana, on Thursday, December 22nd, 2011. She was 83 years old.

She was born to the late Joseph deVance and Nelly Hamilton on May 31, 1928 in 
Morgan City, Louisiana. She graduated from Morgan City High School in 1944, 
attended Southwestern in Lafayette, and graduated from Soule College in New 
Orleans in 1948. She was employed at Patterson Seafood Company. She married 
Henry Cameron Thompson on November 20, 1950. They resided in Morgan City until 
1967, when they brought their family to the New Orleans area.

She leaves behind her children, Jonell Thompson Lombardo, David Cameron 
Thompson, and Elizabeth Thompson Ledet, along with her grandchildren, Cameron, 
Rachel, and Caitlyn Lombardo, and Ryan and Blake Thompson. She is survived by 
one brother, Thomas "Boogie" Hamilton, and preceded in death by another, Jimmy 
Hamilton.

Betty loved movies, popular music and television. She was keenly interested in 
current news and events. She enjoyed talking with everyone she encountered. The 
greatest joy of her later years was watching her grandchildren grow, and 
hearing of their latest activities. Her children will greatly miss her quick 
sense of humor and love of laughter.

The visitation will be at Hargrave Funeral Home in Morgan City, Louisiana, from 
10 to 11:30 am, followed by a service at Morgan City Cemetery at noon, on 
Monday, December 26th, 2011.

Arrangements under the direction of Hargrave Funeral Home, Morgan City, LA.
