Elizabeth Wilson Obituary
Betsy was born Jan. 11, 1938, and was fostered by Grace and Joseph Earley. She cherished this generous family who raised her along with her sisters Denise Earley Murray and Mary Jane Goodby Roy. Betsy grew up in West Haven in view of Long Island Sound and attended West Haven Public Schools along with her neighborhood friends. For nearly 60 years, Betsy was married to the love of her life Ernest (Ernie) Wilson. They made their first home in West Haven, later moving to Milford before retiring to Enfield. After taking time off to be a full time mom, Betsy worked as a lunch aide for the West Haven Public Schools, an assembler for New England Control and as an associate at Stop & Shop in both Milford and Enfield, running the
salad bar for the produce department.
Betsy Wilson is survived by her loving husband Ernie; three daughters, Grace Wilson of Middletown, Amy Wilson Connors and her husband, Tim Connors of Hamden, and Karen Wilson Majkut and her husband, Keith Majkut of Dunstable, Massachusetts. She is survived by five grandchildren, Beatrice Matarazzo, Nicole Matarazzo Patenaude, Anna Marie Matarazzo, Benjamin Majkut and Susanna Majkut. She leaves behind several sisters-in-laws brothers-in-laws; many nieces and nephews; as well as four great-grandchildren.
Betsy loved taking day trips all around Connecticut and New England with Ernie, her children and grandchildren, enjoying train rides, fishing adventures, the beach and seeing historic sites. Betsy was active in all of her grandchildren's lives and loved being around them. She was the reigning Parchesi champion for many years, teaching all of her grandchildren how to play. She was an avid Greenbay Packers "Cheesehead" and a New York Mets fan. Betsy was a communicant of St Gabriel Church, singing in the choir there for many years. After moving to Enfield, Betsy attended St. Jeanne Jugan Parish at Holy Family Church.
