Brickett, Betty Lou (Prouty)

Betty Lou (Prouty) Brickett went home to be with her Lord and Savior on January 22, 2023 at the age of 87 after a short illness.

Betty Lou was born in Bristol, CT on March 13, 1935 to the late Louis and Dorothy (Jones) Prouty. She attended St. Joseph Grammar School and was a 1952 graduate of Bristol High School. After graduation, she worked for many years at Stanley Industrial Components as a telephone operator/receptionist.

In addition to being a humble and loyal servant of our Lord, she cherished her church and being involved in church activities. For many years, Betty Lou volunteered at My Father's House in Bristol helping those in need. Betty Lou was an avid reader and enjoyed music and dancing and Sunday afternoon rides in the country. The warm love of her animals over the years offered her happiness and comfort.

Betty Lou has been reunited in Heaven with her parents, Dorothy and Louis, and her sisters, Sylvia (Prouty) Pietrowicz and Joyce (Prouty/Nixon) Gebo. She is survived by her favorite nephew, Paul Nixon (Heather) of West Townsend, MA, her nieces, Pam Rutherford of Pembroke, MA, Mary Goehring (Michael) of Clover, SC, Leslie Nixon of Seaside, CA and Lynn Pietrowicz of Windsor, CT, as well as several great nieces/nephews, cousins and her sweet kitty, Maxi. She also leaves her long-time friend and selfless caregiver, Helen Evans, who our heartfelt gratitude goes out to.
