Urso of Old Juniper Lane, Westerly, passed away at the age of 89 the morning of Saturday, April 4, 2015, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Pawcatuck, Conn., the daughter of the late Sebastian and Marguerite Shea. Betty was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. A devoted homemaker with six children, Betty gave time and energy to many organizations, such as "Problem Pregnancy" and her prayer group.
