Betty Braud Kinchen

Betty Braud Kinchen passed away peacefully on Friday, December 20, 2024 at the age of 88. A native of New Rhodes, La and a longtime resident of Gonzales, La. She was a loving mother, grandmother and friend to many.

Betty was a dedicated homemaker and did everything she could to make sure her family was taken care of. She enjoyed playing cards and doing puzzles. She and Don loved taking the RV and hitting the roads; they traveled all over. Her kind soul and warm hugs will surely be missed by all who knew and loved her.
