Betty Jean Sebourn

Her name was Betty Jean Sebourn, but she loved to be called Eileen. We all knew her as Mom, and she had a gentle, loving spirit that will be remembered by everyone who knew her. Mom quietly stepped from this world into the next on September 3, 2018; on September 5, 2018, she was interred with her late husband, Dewey, in the Fayetteville National Cemetery. Mom is survived by her three sons Michael Evans, wife Carolyn, and two grandchildren, Alicia and Nicholas; Randy Evans, wife Patty, and two grandchildren, Lee and Linda; Jim Sebourn, wife Stacy; four great-grandchildren; two sisters, Billie Moore and husband Ted, Bobbie Chapman and husband Wilbert. Mom loved Twinkies, Oreos, chocolate eclairs, and an occasional chili dog. She loved Paula Deen, and for years, she collected recipes and specialized in her children's favorite cookies, roast beef, meatballs, and biscuits with gravy, which she called lick-dob. Mom was fond of telling stories and sharing her love with anyone who was near. She was an amazing listener, and she spent many hours watching religious shows, cooking shows, and her favorite station, HGTV. With her beloved, Dewey Sebourn, she shared many adventures while traveling in a motor home for two years before settling in Onalaska, Texas, on Lake Livingston. For the last twelve years, she lived in Conway. In the words of her sons, Mom was the most unconditionally loving and supportive mother a child could have. She will be greatly missed.
