Elizabeth Masarech Manna of Poughkeepsie, New York, passed away peacefully with loved ones by her side after a short battle with cancer on December 20, 2014. She is survived by her long-time boyfriend and best friend, Mr. Jim Hausler, her mother Julie Masarech, her sister Julie Ann Long, her three children, Bobby, Christine and Johnny, her six grandchildren, Lynne, Jill, Jodi, Katie, Johnny and Jeffrey, her nieces and many other extended family members. Betty was born on January 24, 1939 in Tarrytown, New York. She graduated from Washington Irving High School in 1957. For many years she worked very hard at M&S market and went on to work at Off Broadway Deli, where she was known as "Betty from the Deli". Betty went on to work for Westchester County Bee Line Bus as an operator until retirement. In her retitrement years, she enjoyed traveling around the country visiting family and friends and driving back and forth to her special place in Florida where she resided with Jim. Betty also enjoyed the outdoors, picnics, shopping in any store she had a coupon for, and of course a grilled Ribeye Steak and a cold bottle of Bud. Betty was not only a wonderful mom, but a great friend to her children. She will be truly missed.

My sincerest symapthies for the loss of Betty. I knew Betty way back when we both worked at Finast in Tarrytown. I was 16 and Betty was a mentor towards me. I had hoped to see her priorto her passing. At least I was able to talk with John. RIP my friend

My Dearest Best Friend Betty,
This letter is so hard for me to write but I just had to tell you how much you meant to me as a Best Friend. We had some history together an shared so much fun, laughter an sorrow. Our children even grew up together and are still friends to this day. They gave us beautiful grandchildren too!!
Betty, I loved playing canasta with you almost every night after our kids went to bed. You were always so competitive and boy oh boy,you sure took a long time about what move to make playing cards together. We did a lot of shopping together, which was one of your favorite things,and boy oh boy, you took a long time with that too! You just had to see everything! Our trip to Disney with Larry Pace was so funny because when we got back,my car broke down an we had to walk the rest of the way to my house. We looked like a bunch of hobos carrying all the bags across the big road. We laughed so much. You worked so hard, as a single parent for a long time to provide for your family.
Then this great man,Jim,who you met on the bus as he was driving you to work,came into your life and made you so happy! It was hard for you to accept him asking you out all the time. I said "go for it", you need to be happy. Boy did he make you happy. He gave you a good life and I was so happy for that.
Well, my Best Friend, I can go on and on about all the things we shared for a long time but you know them. So, for now, I will just say "Farewell best friend", until we meet again.
Always an forever,your best friend,Ann. God Bless.
