ELIZABETH V. "BETTY" HOWELL

HOWELL, ELIZABETH V. "BETTY" "BABE" 94 - of Absecon and Meadowview Nursing Home, surrounded by the love of her family, rose peacefully into the arms of the Lord on March 22, 2011. She was the last of her generation from both sides of her family. She possessed the ability to make all around her feel important and always had an ear to lend or hand to hold. Her warm smile and dark blue eyes could lighten up any room. Being active in Absecon VFW Ladies Auxiliary Post 9462 and the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Post 28, she held several local and county offices. While at Meadowview, she served on the Senior Advisory Committee, where she was elected to the office of president for five years. Betty was predeceased by her husband, Harold (Chief) Howell in 1976. Left to carry on her memories are her children: Jacqueline (Jackie) Howell, Elizabeth (Betty) Howell (Dick Hudson, Jr.) of Absecon and Harold (Hal) D. Howell (Sherry Williams) of Galloway Twp. and her precious grandchildren, Mary (Josh), Dan and Jessie. Family and friends may call Monday, April 4th from 6-8pm, and Tuesday, April 5th from 9-10am, followed by a service at 10am at Parsels Funeral Home, 324 New Jersey Ave., Absecon.
