Elizabeth Harris Grossman
Elizabeth (Betty) Harris Grossman, 103, of Stamford, CT, passed away peacefully from natural causes on February 26, 2025. She was born on August 9, 1921, to JP and Mae Harris of Port Chester, NY, and was a resident of Riverside, CT, for 61 years. Betty was predeceased by her husband, George Grossman, and is survived by her two sons, Jeff Grossman (Dede) of Cos Cob, CT, and Jack Grossman (Leslie) of Oakland, CA, as well as her two granddaughters, Jessie and Sara.
In her early years, Betty was passionate about horseback riding and participated in many competitive show jumping events. She attended Greenwich Academy, where she continued her riding career, graduating in 1938. She later married George and raised their two sons in Riverside, CT.
Betty loved the town of Greenwich and was active in local politics. She served as the head of the Greenwich Hospital volunteers and was a member of the RTM. Betty also loved the outdoors and frequently walked at Greenwich Point. She was an avid birder and tennis player, and she loved to cook.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Greenwich Audubon Center.
