Gentry Rae Lovett
Gentry Rae Lovett, of Beaumont, died September 30, 2022, at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas. She was born Katrina Billie Karasek in Galveston, Texas, on September 20, 1990. Gentry was welcomed into the home of Raymond (Ray) Lovett, Jr., and then Donna Shawl Lovett (Swiss Hart), Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 1990. Raymond and Donna fostered and provided a lifelong commitment to love and care for a child whose name was officially changed to Gentry Rae Lovett in 1992.
Gentry experienced lifelong health issues, which included two kidney transplants. Both transplants were from live donors. Donna provided Gentry with a kidney at the age of 2 and a family friend, Ruth Sapp, provided a kidney when Gentry was 16. Gentry grew up surrounded by many people who loved and cared for her. Gentry never met a stranger. All who knew her have Gentry stories to tell. Gentry received services from Spindletop Center for services to individuals with developmental disabilities. Many thanks go out to so many people who over the years took a part in caring for Gentry.
Gentry was preceded in death by Raymond Lovett, Jr. in 2020 and Donna Shawl in 2021. She gained a multitude of family when she came to live with Ray and Donna and is survived by many who represent her family: Stepparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, house momma, friends of Donna, friends of Ray and her Spindletop family.
Cremation arrangements were handled through Broussard’s Crematorium under the direction of Broussard’s, 1605 North Major Drive, Beaumont. There are no services pending and her internment will occur at Union Springs Cemetery in Corrigan, Texas, at a later date.
Gentry was a special young lady. Her energy and warmth set her apart. (I don’t think she ever met a stranger)
There are many that have gone on before and I know she is happy to be with them.
Gentry was my student at Marshall Middle School. She made me smile and always have a story to tell. She brightened my day and I know she will be missed.
Gentry, you were loved by your family and friends. Lifting loved ones up in prayer at this very sad time. God bless all of those who mourn for you, especially your much loved Auntie Judy and Uncle Ben.
Gentry, I’ll miss our phone calls but, I’m glad you’re with your Mom now. Swiss loved you so much and I loved her. God bless you both and your family / families as well. You touched so many people and will be missed by all of them. You truly are an angel and can now wear your wings.
