Cass, entered peaceful rest on Friday, June 27, 2025 in her home surrounded by family. Born in New Haven on June 7, 1924, she was the daughter of the late Ernest and Elizabeth (Donovan) Williamson.
A proud Irishwoman, Elizabeth was a devout Catholic and faithful member of St. Augustine's Church. Her love of puzzles, particularly Wordle and crosswords, kept her mind sharp. Above all, she cherished spending time with her loved ones. The door to her home was always open especially for Friday Night Pizza.

In addition to her parents and husband, Elizabeth was predeceased by her
brother Ernest Williamson, daughter Elizabeth Baker, and great-grandchildren Michael Baker and Ava Newman.
