Betty Jean

Joslin

Betty Jean Joslin, 74, of Austin, lovingly known to many as “Booper,” passed away Tuesday, November 10, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, love, and a family who will forever cherish her. She was born September 20, 1952, in Monroe, Louisiana to the late Clifton Ray and Lilli Irene Connerley Townsend.

Betty was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Her greatest joy in life was her family. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren more than words could ever express. Whether gathered around the table, sharing stories, laughing together, or simply enjoying one another’s company, Betty treasured every moment spent with the people she loved.

One of the ways Betty showed her love was through cooking. She had a special way of putting love into the meals she prepared, bringing family together through food, warmth, and togetherness. Her kitchen and her table were places where memories were made, and her family will forever remember the love that went into every dish.

Throughout her working years, Betty was employed at Uniforce Electronics for several years. She also worked at Molex and Timex, where she dedicated many years of hard work.

Betty was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Tim Joslin, whom she carried in her heart. She is also remembered alongside her brother, Jerry Glenn Townsend; sister, Patricia Ann and grandson, Jayden Michael Jackson.

Betty had a special love for Betty Boop, a character that brought her joy and became a little part of who she was. It was only fitting that so many affectionately knew her as “Booper.”

Although her passing leaves an emptiness that can never truly be filled, her love will continue to live on through the generations of family she leaves behind. Her recipes, her laughter, her stories, and the countless memories shared will remain treasured reminders of the woman she was.

A mother’s love never truly leaves. It lives on in the children she raised, the grandchildren she adored, the great-grandchildren she cherished, and in every heart she touched.

Survivors include her daughter, Cindy May; stepchildren, Jill Swan, Jacole Justice and Joey Joslin; seven grandchildren, Kyndal Wiles, Dakota Jackson, Ely Swint, Maddie Swint, Aimsley Justice, Grayson Justice and Lucy Joslin; two great-grandchildren, Carson Jackson and Raelynn Wiles; sisters, Mary Florence Pemberton, Carolyn Sue Toups, Kathy Lynn Townsend and Alice Faye Nelson, as well as numerous extended family members and friends.

She may be gone from our sight, but she will never be gone from our hearts.

Rest peacefully, “Booper.” You were loved beyond measure, and you will be missed forever.

Pallbearers will be Duane Stancill, Michael Justice, Tanner Wiles, Scott Hendrickson, Adam Hendrickson and Dustin Swan. Honorary pallbearers will be Carson Jackson, Grayson Justice and Ely Swint.

Funeral services will be 1:00 p.m., Friday, November 13, 2026, at Moore’s Cabot Funeral Home with burial to follow at Mount Carmel Cemetery. Visitation will begin one hour prior to the service.
