Olga Chenoweth Obituary

Olga Elizabeth (Betty) Frankoff Chenoweth of Manchester, NH, 103, passed away peacefully on December 14, 2024 at Villa Crest Nursing and Retirement Center in Manchester, NH.

Betty was born in New York City, NY on November 19, 1921. She was raised in Jersey City, NJ and lived in Maryland before settling in Manchester, NH where she raised her family.

Betty built her career at GTE Sylvania and retired after 25 years, yet found herself needing to do more. She enjoyed being involved with the Foster Grandparent Program of Manchester and socialized with many. You would often find her taking a walk and enjoying the sun, stopping to chat with anyone she'd meet.

She was predeceased by her husband, Wm. Edward Chenoweth Sr., three brothers and one sister.

She leaves behind her son, Wm. Edward Chenoweth Jr., former daughter-in-law Colleen Chenoweth, grandchildren Kristen Chenoweth-Curty, Sean Chenoweth and his wife Laura, and great-grandchildren Rebecca Curty, and Chase Chenoweth.

A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

Betty was truly one of a kind. I´ll never forget when I went to visit her in my prom dress when I worked there, every time I saw her after that when I was visiting my grandmother she always reminded me of how special that was for her. Extremely sorry for your loss, she was a special and kind lady. She will be missed by many
