A long time New Haven resident, Betty Ann attended Benjamin Jepson Elementary School, St. Rose of Lima Catholic School and was a 1974 graduate of St. Mary’s High School in New Haven. Betty and her family then moved to East Haven, where she enjoyed going to the town beach. She always knew the weather forecast and couldn't wait to feel the warm sun on her face. She was fond of eating out at shoreline restaurants and Starbucks coffee. Betty was a beach babe, a fashionist and a cat lover. She will always be remembered as a kind, loving, thoughtful and loyal friend. Betty was an Administrative Assistant at the Credit Bureau of CT since 1974, and had many wonderful co-workers.
