She began her teaching career in 1950 as a physical education teacher at Port Chester High School and ended it in 1988 as a fifth-grade teacher in Silas Wood School with, as she loved to say, a break in between to have 5 children in 7 years! She and William met in college and raised their family in Huntington Sta., NY. In 1988 they moved to Pomfret Center to create the retirement of their dreams. She moved to her beautiful house in Newington after William died in 2012.Betty was a teacher, a master gardener (her gardens in Pomfret were truly magnificent), an accomplished golfer, a devoted sports fan, a bird watcher, a photographer and a journaler of life but most of all, she was a lover of her family.
