Betty Tilly Bart

Betty Tilly Bart passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by family on Saturday, May 30 at the age of 96. Daughter of the late Henry L. Tilly and Esther Hanckes Tilly. She was the beloved wife of J. Sherwood Bart, Jr; sister of Henry L. Tilly and Lloyd H. Tilly. She is survived by and lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Sally Ricca (Daniel) and Sharon Normand (Bobby); grandchildren, Effie Chaisson, Carey Chaisson, Sarah C. Nicholson, Erica N. Correa (Alberto), Roe Normand (Elizabeth), and Lizzie N. O'Connor; great grandchildren, Cody Chaisson, Grace Chaisson, Luke Chaisson, Lillie Chaisson, Chloe Kuhn, Logan Schroeder, Caleb Nicholson, Jacob Nicholson, Sylvie Correa, Albe Correa, Daniel Normand, Lucie Normand, Benjamin Normand, Jack O'Connor and Penny O'Connor.

Betty was born in New Orleans and grew up on Ursuline Avenue. Later, she and Sherwood raised their family in Lakeview where they both worked within the family business, Bart's Restaurant. Betty loved Lakeview and was a dedicated parishioner at St. Dominic Church. She attended daily Mass and was a member of the St. Dominic Church Altar Society. Here she especially loved decorating the church with her team of friends!

Betty also enjoyed traveling, shopping, streetcar rides, and countless family gatherings! She was such a blessing to our family -- a sweet, generous person who loved her family and her faith. A special thank you from the Bart Family to her neighbors at Whitney Place Condominiums Building #2, and to Ginny Wilson, Aliki Swatt, Bobbie Solomon, and Barbara Wheeler for their dedicated care and love.

Due to corona virus a private family Memorial Mass will be celebrated.
