Elizabeth A Dattilio

Elizabeth A. "Betty" Dattilio, 88 of South Burlington, passed away peacefully on Saturday April 12, 2025, at Burlington Health and Rehab.
Betty was born in Burlington, VT on August 24, 1936, the daughter of Arden and Ruth (McDonald) Van Dusen. She was predeceased by her brothers Paul and Richard Van Dusen.
After graduating from Burlington High School, Betty married her high school sweetheart Vincent "Vince" Dattilio, the love of her life. On August 20, 2024, they celebrated 69 years of marriage. Betty was a dedicated, wife, mother and animal lover. She loved her home, her family and especially treasured family gatherings during the holidays. As her disease progressed Vince and Betty enjoyed going out to dinner, making connections with people wherever they went and always ending the visit with a story or joke from Vince.
She is survived by her husband, Vincent F. Dattilio, and two children: James "Jim" V. Dattilio and his wife Monica of Williston, VT and Lynda Dattilio and her wife Krista Cato of Lovettsville, VA. She was a proud grandmother of three grandchildren: Katie Dattilio of Williamstown, VT; Christina Seward and her husband Ben of Milton, VT; and James V. Dattilio and his fiancée Kayla Ashton of Fairfax, VT. Betty was also great-grammy to Bentley Seward and Vinny Dattilio whom she adored and brought her great joy.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of Shep 3 North at UVM Medical Center and Burlington Health & Rehab. The compassionate care and kindness given to her and the support for our family will not be forgotten.
In lieu of flowers the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Center for Dementia Research in her memory.
