Caffey

Betty Evelyn Caffey, 83, of College Station died Thursday, Sept. 30, 2021, at Baylor Scott & White Hospital in College Station.

A funeral service was held Tuesday, Oct. 5, at Phillips & Luckey Funeral Home in Rockdale with Pastor John Honea from Rock Prairie Baptist Church in College Station officiating. Burial was at Salty Cemetery near Thorndale.

Betty was born May 29, 1938, to Jesse and Olga (Schramm) Hobbs in the Watson Branch community of Milam County.

On Sept. 24, 1955, she married Bobby Caffey in Thorndale.

She owned and operated Thorndale Family Hair Salon in downtown Thorndale in the late 1980s.

She enjoyed shopping and anything sweet, especially her Blue Bell ice cream and Diet Coke.

Betty also enjoyed keeping up with her many friends and family by way of social media, and she was always known to pass a funny email along to everyone she knew.

But the most enjoyment she received in this life was seeing her kids and grandkids grow up, and then getting to meet her great-grandchildren. She loved watching her grandkids play sports and enjoyed keeping them wellfed with her amazing cooking.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse and Olga Hobbs; a son, Randy Caffey; a daughter, Donna Sue Schwarz; two grandsons, Jason Glenn Schwarz and Kevin Caffey; and a brother, Martin Hobbs.

Betty is survived by her husband of 66 years, Bobby Caffey of College Station; a son, Rex Caffey of College Station; her grandchildren, Keith Caffey, Chad Schwarz, Justin Schwarz, Kayla Longoria and Alyssa Winton; and her great-grandchildren, Avery Schwarz, Lakelyn Schwarz, Tristan Schwarz, Rilynn Schwarz, Kace Winton, Easton Winton and Ellie Longoria; also, several nieces and nephews.

Serving as pallbearers are Chad Schwarz, Justin Schwarz, Keith Caffey, Kerry Caffey, Darrell Hobbs and Brad Caffey.
