Betty L. House-Baugh

Betty L. House-Baugh, 94, of New Castle passed away on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at The Waters of New Castle. On September 17, 1932, Betty was born in Maple Valley located in Henry County, IN, a daughter of the late Herman and Emma (Brooks) Morris.

Betty was a 43-year member of Cadiz Christian Church, where she faithfully served on the Finance Team for 29 years. She was employed by Perfect Circle for 11 years and, following the death of her husband, John, worked for five years at Myers Furniture and Appliances. She retired in 1999 as a secretary for the Correctional Industrial Facility in Pendleton, Indiana.

Betty had a lifelong love of bowling and participated in a bowling league for 50 years. During much of that time, she served as secretary-treasurer and was also a member of the Board of Directors for the Women’s Bowling League in Henry County. Her passion for bowling took her to state and national tournaments throughout the country.

In her spare time, Betty enjoyed quilting and reading. She especially treasured the friendships she made over the years and looked forward to meeting a group of friends known as “The Lunch Bunch” for lunch every Tuesday, a tradition she enjoyed for over 25 years.
