Elizabeth “Betty” Morgan, 80 of New Fairfield; wife of the late Martin J Morgan Sr.; died on Thursday, March 10, 2022, at her home. Betty was surrounded by her family including her children, grandchildren, brother, and sister. Betty courageously battled cancer with the strength and courage of a Gladiator. Her journey demanded so much physical and emotional stamina. Her faith in the Lord and the support of her family and friends allowed her to carry on. The family would like to thank the nurses, PAs, and doctors of Mount Sinai in NYC, and the entire team at RVNA in CT.
