Howard, Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Betty) Howard, 91, of Delray Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on April 2, 2013.

Betty was born and raised in Canton and attended Canton schools, graduating from Canton High School in 1938 as class valedictorian. She married the late John (Jack) Howard on May 1, 1944, and upon his return from service in World War II, they raised four boys. Betty worked for Shawmut Bank of Boston in the Investment Division for many years before retiring to Florida.

Betty leaves her four sons, John of Easton, Glenn and his wife, Elizabeth, of Sugarland, TX, Scott and his wife, Debby, of Rio Rancho, NM, and Gary and his wife, Sheila, of West Bridgewater. She also leaves three grandchildren, Jason and his wife, Coleen, of Canton, Jesse of Canton, and Laura of Culver City, CA, and a great granddaughter, Hannah Elizabeth of Canton.

Ever energetic and intellectually sharp, Betty was an active and respected member of her retirement community, a beloved mother and a treasured grandmother and great-grandmother.

At her request, services in Florida will be private and without a lot of fuss, just the way she wanted it.
