Elizabeth was the kindest and most wonderful lady I was blessed to call friend .She always had a smile and help me get through some sad times . I was so honored and blessed to be her friend ❤

God open his arms and embraced a beautiful woman today. Liz was a true worrier. Fighting, loving and always there for everyone. May all the memories of her wonderful life bring comfort to her family. I know she would want everyone to celebrate her life in their own way. This will bring her joy. With much love Dawn and Jim Hawkins

I first met Betty Ann when she came to Ireland with her Mother Julia in 1953. We played together in Michael Durkin's home in Westport and we were very close friends all through the years. I met her once or twice in the U.S over the years. She was an outstanding person. I will remember her smile and her laugh and her warmth and friendship, My very sincere sympathy to all of her family. May she enjoy her new home in Heaven

Dearest Betty Ann, your determination, strength, love and faith we’re an inspiration to me. The footprints you left will outlast any tide. My condolences to your loving family. Maggie Christian

To Elizabeth, Dominique and Kathleen, I offer my deepest condolences. I knew your om as BettyAnn for almost 50 years and cared for and respected her greatly. I know she went through some real hard times in recent years, but she kept up the good fight. I will remember her fondly and keep her and all of you in my thoughts. Cousin Louie.


A woman with the most positive outlook on life I have ever known. To know her was to love her.

When I worked in New Jersey for the summer of 1990 Betty Ann welcomed me into her home and treated me like one of her family. She was my dads cousin. His name was Oliver and he was Annie Gavan’s son. When Betty Ann came to Ireland she visited my dad and he was so excited to meet his American cousin. I live in Ireland where Betty Ann’s parents came from. My family and I send our deepest sympathies to all of Betty Ann’s family. As we’d say over here she was a lovely lady. RIP Betty...
