On March 17, 2023, Bettye Stewart Auger went home to be with the Lord following a brief illness.

Her life was a testimony of the goodness of God, and those who knew her recognized that her greatest joys were her deep faith in Jesus Christ and the relationships she had with her family and friends. She loved others sacrificially and wanted those around her to know the redeeming work of her Heavenly Father.
