Betty Surrette
08/09/1929 – 08/18/2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Betty Surrette. She died peacefully in her sleep, August 18th [at Halifax Health Hospice Care Center] and now joins her husband, Jack, in heaven.
Born in the small town of Ripley, West Virginia, Betty spent her early years in the mountaineer state. After graduating from Morris Harvey College, in 1952, she married the love of her life, Jack, and started her family. The Surrette’s moved to Florida in 1960 and raised their 2 children. Betty became a typing teacher at Seabreeze Jr. and taught business education at various Volusia County schools for the next three decades. She retired in 1991 to spend more time with her family and her grandchildren.
In addition to teaching and managing the Surrette household, Betty accompanied her husband to countless Seabreeze and Mainland High School sporting events and activities. She was a devout Christian and a loyal member of the Lighthouse Christ Presbyterian Church for many years, where she enjoyed bible study and singing in the sanctuary choir. But, most of all, she loved her family and her faithful companion – Benji.
Betty always had a big smile and an even bigger heart.
