Beth Rollins Benton Breaux, born on March 13, 1946, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at her home on August 21, 2025, at the age of 79, surrounded by her devoted husband and family.


Beth is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Michael John Breaux; and their three children, Esco Benton, III (Antoinette), Paige Breaux Zerangue (Garrett), and Andy Breaux; her grandchildren, Hunter (Crystal), Esco IV (Brittany), Evan, Dannyn (Christephany), Margaret (Beau), and Elizabeth; her great-grandchildren, Ella, Hayes, Nora, Stella and Riley.

Nana enjoyed swinging and playing with her great-granddaughters Nora and Stella, and rocking and holding her beautiful great-grandson, Riley. She enjoyed every moment spent with her husband, family and friends. Beth spent her life nurturing and supporting her family with unwavering love and kindness and forging enduring friendships.
