We thank God for the life of Bethenia Mae Bacon, born Bethenia Mae Chastain.

Bethenia (“Bea” to her friends) was born May 31, 1931 in Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia to William Barnett and Dora Mae Chastain. She was the first child of ten including Emily, James, Sarah, Howard, Arthur, Brenda and survived by Coleman, Jewel and Joan. This family was rich in spirit and love and, in continuance of this blessing, Bethenia made family paramount in her life and was committed to loving and charitable works.
She met the love of her life Harry Leo Bacon (deceased) while living in Augusta, GA. As the story is told, she worked in a five and dime and Harry kept shopping in an effort to win her attention. He always said, “I met my million-dollar baby in a five and dime” … and indeed he did. They married after he returned from a military tour during the Korean War. They traveled the world for over 23 years as they served in the Army.
She is survived by her 3 children Beverly, Harriet and Douglas. She also was the loving grandmother of nine “grand babies” Kristina, Douglas, Robert, Adam, Nathaniel, Phillip, Samantha, Taylor and Dylan. The latest of her lineage are her three great grandchildren Abigail, David and Harper.
She was a faithful and true daughter, sister, wife, parent, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor, friend and business woman. While thriving in the role of supportive military wife and stay-at-home mother, she was able to build a business in Sautee supporting family and community. After military retirement, she excelled in a career as a real estate agent, receiving the most prestigious awards for superior achievement. As she began her second retirement, she took her love of dance to a new level and became an accomplished and ballroom dancer.
Anyone who met her was drawn to Bethania’s beautiful smile and sweet personality. She was smart, assertive, thrifty, but her heart and generosity dominated her personality. A Christian servant with heart- felt generosity is the example she passed on to all who knew her. Well-grounded in good morals, values and manners she was someone everyone loved and admired.
Bethenia Mae Bacon, our Matriarch, will be greatly missed on earth, but eagerly welcomed in heaven.
