Betty "Jean" 
Outlaw

  • Memorial Service: Saturday, June 29th, 2024 from 12 pm – 3 pm at HERITAGE FUNERAL HOME (6615 W Oklahoma Ave. Milwaukee)

Betty “Jean” Outlaw

Passed away on June 11, 2024 at age 74.
Beloved mother of Brandie Outlaw and Michael B. Kloth. Also survived by a host of sisters and brothers, seven grandchildren, other relatives, and friends.
Betty “Jean” was in healthcare for over 50 years. She was a CNA and wanted to expand her career. She attended MATC and graduated in 1993 with her Licensed Practical Nursing Degree.
She always loved to crack jokes, play games on her phone, watch westerns and Dateline (Dave Muir was her favorite). She always danced as if no one was watching. Her collection of nail polish is a testament to her love for polishing her nails everyday with a different color.
Her nursing career was her ultimate passion where she had friends and residents that she not only touched and cared for but were also deeply close to her heart. She was always on the go from working double shifts to shopping on the weekends with her sister and daughter. She truly never felt her age and it showed!
A memorial service will take place on Saturday, June 29th, 2024 at HERITAGE FUNERAL HOME (6615 W Oklahoma Ave. Milwaukee) from 12 pm to 3 pm.

    Hey Jean , I miss you like crazy, I was so hesitant leaving this note because it’s my agreement to God and you that you’re not just working a late shift ,you’re really not coming back home. 😭. But you’re with God, and He took your suffering away. I’ve known you for 63yrs, thanks for whipping those that bullied me.😂, and I’ll Love you forever. You’ll always be my pretty big sister. Pumpkin 😇

    My sweet Jean I thought about you when I read this poem .
    Until We Meet Again
    We think about you always,,, we talk about you still, you have never been forgotten and you never will. We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain. To walk and guide us through our lives until we meet again.
