Dominique Rachel Bettis

Dominique Rachel Bettis, 28 of Arlington, Texas went to be with the Lord on August 28, 2022. Dominique was born to Sabine Pape Bettis and Kenneth Lee Bettis on June 11, 1994 in Irving, Texas. She graduated from Summit High School Class of 2013 and went on to obtain her bachelor’s degree in public health and later obtained her master’s in business administration from the University of Texas at Arlington.

Although her life accomplishments were great, her greatest joy in life was her daughter, Juliet Capulet Jordan.

Dominique was a devoted mother, beloved daughter and sister, and dear friend to many. She was simply beautiful inside and out. Dominique had a leader’s mentality, was fiercely independent, goal-driven, compassionate, generous, and had a big heart. She had dreams and goals to buy a house for her family and her daughter. She also aspired to start and own a business.

She loved her family and loved to travel. She spent time in Berlin, Spain, Amsterdam, California, and Mexico and had big plans to continue seeing the world. Dominique enjoyed spending time with her maternal grandmother, Rita Pape. She called Berlin her second home. This connection fostered a passion for soccer and she loved to watch and attend games.

Dominique was the unique type of person who would call just to say “I Love You”. She embodied a true servant’s heart. She was always thinking of her family and others and always put others before herself. Her family viewed her as the one that kept them all together. Even though she was almost the youngest sibling, she was the string and heartbeat that kept them close to each other. Like the family matriarch, she was always planning family events and bringing her blended family to share togetherness.

Her big smile was like sunshine and she brought immense happiness to all who knew her. She will never be forgotten and will always be remembered with love.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Willie and Roxie Bettis; uncles, Robert Stubbs, and Marvin Bettis; aunt, Elvira Boerner; step-uncle Mitchel Cain; and step-sister, Jessica Thomas.
