Betty Lou Brown Barrozo
August 23, 1927 - June 7, 2021

Betty Lou was born August 23, 1927 in San Diego, California to Charles Cash Brown and Lily Drusilla Conley. The Browns lived in Ripley, California but had traveled to San Diego for the delivery because of the heat in the Palo Verde Valley.

Betty Lou was the middle of three girls Virginia Johnson (Corbett) and Charlene January (Elmer).

The family moved to Blythe and Betty Lou attended Hobsonway school and Appleby School before attending and graduating from Palo Verde High School in 1945. Betty attended Woodberry College in Los Angeles for a year and a half before returning to Blythe to attend Palo Verde College. It was while attending PVC that she met and married Robert "Bo" Barrozo on July 9, 1950.

The Barrozo family grew to six with the additions of Melissa Carney (Jim), Anthony Barrozo (Cathy), Daniel Barrozo and Jonathan Barrozo (Renee).

Betty worked at Blythe Drug store for about 13 years prior to helping start the family-run business La Casita in 1977 and La Casita Dos 1991.

Betty was active in St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church functions as well as being a member of the Altar Society and instructional staff at Church Catechism classes.

Betty Lou is now with the Lord and Bo in heaven and her earthly journey and pains are no more. Betty leaves behind her children, their spouses, 11 grandchildren, six great grandchildren and many friends.

Funeral services for Betty will be held on Thursday, June 17th at 9:00 AM at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church and will be laid to rest following the funeral at Palo Verde Cemetery.
