Bessie Louise "Betty" Cronk

I take credit for the name Betty, as I thought Bessie was not a good name for her and when I was a little girl I started calling her Betty and it stuck. Betty was always there for me and I will always love her.

I remember going to Aunt Betty's camp and swimming off the dock and sleeping on the porch when I was very young. I loved to go and pick blueberries and when I came back Aunt Betty would put them in a bowl with milk and sugar for me.
She was very close to my Grandmother, Harriett and quite often would come to my Grandmother's house for "hair day" where they would color and perm each others hair. I remember her love of dogs, she always had the backseat of her Buicks covered for the dog to...

We hold very dear memories of Aunt Betty. She was such a wonderful addition to our Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations over the years. Christmas is not quite the same without her and her gift of cashews she gave us each year. At the passing of both “Nana Brook” and “Grampy Brook” as the children called them – she was such a comfort to us all. She cooked and cleaned and made sure we were all taken care of and comfortable. We also loved hearing her stories of her travels “cross...

Hello:
I will always remember my Aunt Betty as being so close to her sister - my mother. They loved each other and travelled many miles together in Betty's cars. I relished in all the stories of their travel adventures and bragged about them scooting about the country well into their eighties. They would laugh when I called them the Wild Ones. My mom was the quieter of the two but together they were a perfect balance - both talking at the same time, enjoying their many family visits. I...

Hello,
Betty was my grandmother's sister and both my brother and I also looked forward to her visits to New Brunswick. Our parents would routinely take us down to MA since we can remember to visit Betty and bring her sister (my grandmother) down to visit as well. Visiting Betty became a must stop on our trips for work/fun to Toronto, Quebec, Boston or other places for a rest, a meal, some good conversation and occasionally some good arguing! After we lost our grandmother in 2002 Betty...

During my childhood years, my family always looked forward to Aunt Betty's summer visits to Woodstock, NB Canada. She always brought her dog and later her cat and her camera.We treasure all the pictures she gave to our mother. In later years, my mother Jennie Jewett, would anxiously await Aunt Betty's spring and fall visits to NB. In the spring, the two of them would travel to Detroit to visit our Aunt Evelyn and then on to Toronto to visit my sister Marilyn's family. They were like...

Aunt Betty,, my mum's older sister(by one year!)enjoyed a very close and happy childhood. She and Jen continued that relationship all their lives. Betty visited with her family in NB nearly every summer so we too shared in all that love and companionship. In later years Betty and Mum would visit with me and my family on their way to or from a great visit with Aunt Evelyn.
Many, Many happy memories of all those years, so fortunate we were

Mrs. Cronk was my aunt, but seemed as close as a mother to me. She was the most generous person I know and will be sorely missed by many. I know that she and my mother and their other two sisters are in heaven having a great time going over all the events of the years.

I just found out about Betty's passing. She was my great aunt (half sister of my grandmother, Harriet). I have many fond memories of Betty. My two sisters and I spent a few summers at her cottage (the Camp) in Hampstead, NH. When I was a young teenager, Betty funded my entire trip to Orr/Walton Hockey Camp in Canada. She was an integral part of our family growing up, and she joined us for many family events. I saw her about a month ago and was planning another trip soon, but sadly now I...
