Elizabeth spent most of her life residing in her hometown of Northbridge and took great pride in raising her children in the community she cherished so dearly.  A retired secretary for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, Bettie was a lover of family and life, who took great joy in the happiness and comfort  of others she cared about.  She loved art and interior design, music and style,  but will mainly be remembered for her perennially infectious smile and sassy wit, which she shared whenever she could.
