SHALLOTTE — Betty Jean Hewett Jablonski, 87, was welcomed into the kingdom of heaven Wednesday, April 3, 2019.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 68 years, Harry John Jablonski; and son, John Jablonski.

She leaves behind her daughter, Brenda Jablonski of Shallotte; son, Timothy Jablonski, and his wife, Linda, of Kannapolis; and daughter-in-law, Nancy Wilson of Farmville. Betty was blessed with nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Betty was a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother and active member of Calvary Baptist Church, where she sang in the choir for many years. One of Betty’s fondest memories was of her parents, Lydia and Charles Hewett Sr., meeting in their living room along with the other original founding members to discuss plans to establish Calvary Baptist Church.

Betty was an exceptional cook and gardener and enjoyed canning and freezing vegetables for her family. Many beautiful trees, plants and flowers were lovingly planted and cared for by Betty in the family yard. Betty loved her community and took pleasure in the fellowship of many caring friends.

Born and raised in Brunswick County, Betty was the daughter of the late Charles Shimer Hewett Sr. and Lydia Fulford Hewett. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Barbara Hewett Gore and Bernice Hewett Johnson; and three brothers, Beamon Hewett, Billy Hewett and Gene Hewett. She is survived by her sister, Carol Hewett Reynolds; and brother, Tony Hewett.

May we never forget the character and gentle kindness that defined the life of Betty Jablonski. May God continue to bless all of her loved ones, and the goodness she inspired within all who knew her.

Funeral services will be conducted at 3 p.m., Sunday, April 7, at Calvary Baptist Church, Shallotte. The family will receive friends one hour prior to services. Interment will follow in Brunswick Memorial Gardens, 5229 Ocean Hwy West, Shallotte.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Calvary Baptist Church, Benevolent Fund, 623 Village Point Road, Shallotte, NC 28470.
