Elizabeth Anne "Beth" Strozewski, at 91
With heavy hearts, the family of Elizabeth (Beth) Strozewski, 91 of Hull, Massachusetts announce her passing, on October 16, 2025 with her loving family by her side. Beth was born in Boston, MA in 1934 and was the daughter of Harold & Dorothy (Eastman) Dimond. She was a lifelong resident of Hull who grew up in the Worrick Mansion, alongside her sister, Jacqueline (Jackie) Dimond Connerty of Ogunquit, Maine and her brother "predeceased," Robert (Bob) Dimond of Cocoa Beach, FL.
Beth was the wife of the late Raymond (Ray) B. Strozewski Sr., a loving husband of 70 years. She is survived by daughters Deborah Anderson of South Easton, Donna and Edward (Ned) Woods of Hull, Laurel and Matthew Cheever of Kingston and sons Raymond Jr. and Carol Strozewski of Bridgton, Maine, Jeffrey and Denise Strozewski of Braintree, and Michael and Angela Strozewski of Concord, New Hampshire; Cherished Nana to 14 grandchildren, Christopher (Jennifer), Scott (Erin), the late Edward III, Jennifer (Ryan), Brian (Veronica), Thomas (Cassandra), David (Nicole), Erica, Kyle (Katee), Zachary (Olivia), Chadwick, Cameron, Nathan (Erin), Jacob, and 12 great grandchildren, Tatum, Chase, Halle, Brooke, Tyler, Riley, Ashley, Lucy, Calliope, Aiden, Madison and Callan.
Beth graduated from Jeanne d'Arc Academy in Milton and Hingham High School and was employed at the Hull branch of the New England Telephone Company. She met the love of her life and husband-to-be, Raymond (Ray) Strozewski at his Marine Ball at the Worrick Mansion in Hull. They married at St. Mary of the Assumption Church on Green Hill in 1954. Soon thereafter they brought 6 beautiful children into this world. Beth and Ray's focus on family was their priority. They gathered for a few summers at a cottage on Fearings Pond in Plymouth where the family enjoyed swimming, fishing and boating. With six children there was always something to do. Life was simple back then as the camp had no electricity and everyone used their imagination to keep occupied. Beth occasionally organized card & board games, took the family blueberry picking at the local Boy Scout Camp & hosted "all you can eat blueberry pancake challenges" with friends nearby. Quiet times were spent finding fireflies and reading while listening to the whip-poor-wills and tree frogs at night. It was a magical time. Many a day her children would come home from school to the smell of fresh cookies baking in the oven.
Beth was a wonderful artist who enjoyed pencil sketching and oil painting. In earlier years she bowled and played golf. She was also a member of the Hull Garden Club and spent several years enjoying activities at the Council on Aging. One of her true passions was gardening. Her nurturing of plants was like that of nurturing her children. She did it with a sense of accomplishment, purpose and passion. Upon retiring in 1985 Beth and Ray moved to Venice, Florida for the winter months and summered in Hull. In 2010, they moved back to Hull to spend more time with their family which was continuing to grow. Beth was devoted to her husband and family and was always grateful for the life God blessed her with. We as a family will carry on her legacy, hold our heads high & walk with pride for the beautiful life that she and dad gave us. Now they are one with God above.
Services will be attended by immediate family members only, with a final burial at Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne at a future date. "As an expression of sympathy in honor of Beth the family suggests memorial contributions to the Hull Council of Aging."
