Elizabeth Grant Condon ("Betty") passed away January 15. Elizabeth was born on October 4, 1947, in Pinehurst, North Carolina, to Albert and Elizabeth Grant. As the daughter of a textile mill manager, Betty moved many times throughout the state with her brother, Holt Grant, before attending Laurenburg High School, St. Mary's Junior College and then University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, graduating in 1969 with a degree in Education.

Betty then joined the emerging flock of professional women remaking New York City. She worked as an administrative assistant for Morgan Guaranty Trust. Betty's hard work, attention to detail, and technical skills led to many promotions at the American Stock Exchange and CBS. Betty was always an early adopter and investor in technology, eventually working as a contractor for IBM.

In 1972, Betty met John Irish Condon in NYC. Together, they spent their courtship sailing throughout New England. In 1973, Betty and John were married in Laurenburg, NC, and spent their honeymoon in Bermuda. They chose Greenwich, CT, as their forever home, building a house on Angus Lane, where they would live for 39 years.

In 1977, Betty gave birth to John Holt Condon ("Holt"), followed shortly thereafter by Jeffrey Irish Condon in 1978. Betty dedicated her life to her children, being a wonderful and loving mother, focused on education and on providing her children with every opportunity to succeed.

Betty was always involved in the community. Betty was very active at Brunswick School as a class mom and supervising ballroom dancing, and then eventually working alongside Brunswick's development group. Stemming from her love of sailing and her boys' involvement with the sport, Betty held many leadership positions at American Yacht Club, including running the Junior Program, managing regatta scoring, heading the membership committee, and later advising the Club as a trustee.

Betty lived her life in perpetual motion, traveling and cruising around the world with both family and best friends. She will be remembered for her kind heart, her love of and devotion to her family, her compassion for community, and her zest for travel. Betty is survived by John, Holt and Jeff, as well as her four cherished grandchildren, Jack, Porter, Blaire and August.

Services will be held at Christ Church, Greenwich, CT, on Saturday, January 25 at 11:00 a.m.
