Elizabeth Newton Hein
Elizabeth "Betsy" Newton Hein, 59, passed away on Saturday, April 11th at their family home on Lake Oconee. Betsy was born on January 28th, 1956, in Crockett, Texas. She is survived by her husband, Scott, her four sons, Tyler and his wife Colleen, Andrew, and twins Alex and Jamie Hein, and her mother, Elizabeth Purcell Newton, brother Jim and wife Lynne Newton, sister Tina and husband Richie Harwood, as well as three nephews and three nieces.
Betsy will be remembered for the positive influence she had upon others. She grew up in Sandy Springs, Georgia where she attended Ridgeview High School. She graduated from Valdosta State University with a degree in nursing, working many years in the medical field. Betsy later pursued her dream of teaching, earning her degree at Kennesaw State University. For more than a decade, she taught both elementary grades and special education classes eventually becoming a reading specialist in education, which was truly symbolic of her loving nature and heartfelt desire to help all those she could.
Betsy had a passion for designing and decorating. A hot glue gun was never far from her reach. She always had a project underway wherever she lived, making her house a beautiful and welcoming home to all. She loved to entertain for every occasion, especially SEC football games. Betsy will also be remembered for her unparalleled generosity, the charisma she brought to conversations, and of course, her love for Godiva Chocolate and Nordstrom!
A family graveside service will be held Friday morning, April 17th, at Hillside Cemetery, Laurinburg followed by a worship service at the Laurinburg Presbyterian Church at 11:00 AM.
A gathering will be held celebrating her life on Saturday, April 18th at 3:00 PM in the Historic Naylor Hall in Roswell, Georgia. All are welcome to attend.
Memorial donations are requested to be made to:
Rheumatology Research Foundation

Atlanta, Georgia 30319
Or the charity of your choice
