Obituary

mom-dad g-c-mom wedding-evans moms-80-bday Betty Anne Evans (Johnson) January 11, 1925 – September 25, 2016 Betty was born in Chicago, Ill to Reuben H Johnson and Alice V Johnson. She had one brother, Robert H Johnson who preceded her in death. She had many wonderful family stories about growing up in the ‘Windy City’, Lake Michigan and visiting the farms of relatives living in Iowa. She had many good friends throughout her life, and a lot of them were life long friends from childhood, always involved around Ebenezer Lutheran Church. People loved her kind caring spirit, compassion, understanding and her loving heart. Betty met Sam Evans in Chicago while he was on a business trip. They had a long distance romance until she finally decided to marry the native Texan. They were married for 52 years before Sam passed away in 2007. Over the years, they frequently traveled here and abroad, in addition hosted many festivities. Betty always volunteered to help with social and charitable activities. They had two daughters Georgia and Caroline. Betty was always involved in their life, whether it was leader extraordinaire for Campfire Girls, President of the church Women’s group or most importantly shepherding a bunch of kids to the ‘Bolivar Hilton’ and other places during the summer. She loved to have fun, with family and friends, but also she loved to play and care for children. Above all, Betty was the best friend, mom and grandmother to all the people in her life. All of those who knew her can tell you she was a great cook. Many can remember saying ‘Keep the pot boiling Betty we’ll bring the crabs”!! Betty you will be missed by all who knew you and your beautiful spirit. Betty is survived by her Daughters Georgia and husband Hunt Hodge & Caroline Evans Grandsons Christopher Hodge (Shaina), Jeffrey Hodge (Lauren) and Sam Bundy, Great granddaughters Nicole and Avery Hodge A Memorial Service will be held October 8, 2016 – 3:00pm at St Luke’s Lutheran Church 1210 W.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
