Betty Ann Bennett

Betty Ann Velvergene Bennett affectionately known as “Pumpkin”, entered into eternal rest peacefully on Friday, December 23, 2022, at home. Pumpkin made her debut into this world on November 24, 1955.   She was the daughter of Leonard and Betty Bennett, both preceded her in death.  Pumpkin was also preceded in death by two sisters, Shirl Baruwa and Annie Bell Cauthen; a brother, Mike Bennett, and a niece, Sharon Bennett.

Pumpkin was a member of Pine Grove AME Church. She enjoyed being at the Kershaw County Adult Center. Her favorite activities were coloring or watching her favorite TV shows. Talking trash and being sassy was just something she would do and it was all done out of love.   

Rejoicing in her memories but overwhelmed with sadness, the devoted and committed nephew Bruce Bennett; three brothers, Norman (Frances) Bennett, Sammy Bennett and Leon Bradford; one cousin she loved as a sister, Earline (John) Graham; one aunt, Magnolia Graham, and one great aunt, Sallie Alston; an assemblage of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends whom she truly loved. 

Special thanks to her wonderful and devoted caregiver, Ellen Phillips, and honorary nieces, Letrige Brisbon, Kimberly Holliday, Tiffany Holliday, Latisha Billingsley.
