Elizabeth A. "Betty" (Black) Capuano, 86, of Auburn's Pakachoag Village, passed away in the early hours of Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

She leaves her devoted husband, Anthony L. "Tony" Capuano, with whom she shared 64 wonderful years of marriage; her loving sons, Anthony L. Capuano, Jr. and his wife Linda, of Greenville, GA, Mike Capuano and his wife Cindy, of Oxford, MA, and Mark Capuano, of Worcester; her cherished grandchildren, Ashley, Christopher, and Rhianna Capuano, of Greenville, GA, and Matteo and Isabella Capuano, of Oxford, MA, and several great-grandchildren. Betty also leaves her siblings, Barbara (Black) Boisvert, Paul Black, and Kathleen (Black) Blais, all of Auburn, and Donald Black, of Ohio; along with their families. She was predeceased by her brothers, Robert "Bob" Black and Richard "Dick" Black.

Betty was born, raised, and educated in Worcester, daughter of the late Robert J. Black, Sr. and Lovelena D. (St. Onge) Black. She graduated from the David Hale Fanning Trade High School, and worked as a Dietary Assistant at the former City Hospital for 30 years.

In her free time, Betty enjoyed completing puzzles, doing crosswords, and playing Solitaire.

To Uncle Tony, Tony & Linda, Mike & Cindy, and Mark...sending condolences on the loss of Betty. I am thankful to have so many wonderful memories of times spent together, and silly things that make me smile each time I think of them - like her pistachio pudding pies, and the orange, pink and yellow birthday wrapping paper from the Denholms that seemed to last for decades! May you all share many, many happy memories to get you through the heavy days ahead. Love, Michelle (Bill, Chelsea, Joseph and Henry, too!)

Often, I would see Betty and Tony at Helen´s for breakfast. Betty always insisted on a well-done bagel (looked burned to me!).

RIP Betty
