Elizabeth "Betsy" A. Eason Obituary (1941 - 2012)

Elizabeth,"Betsy", was among the young at heart until she passed away August 27, 2012 in her home in Watervliet, surrounded by her family. In keeping with her wishes, she will be cremated and buried in the family plot in Silverbrook Cemetery in Niles. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society. After graduating from Niles High School in 1959, she moved to Florida, where she met her husband Carlton, who preceded her in death in 2007. She moved back to Michigan to be closer to her family. Betsy never had children of her own, but was a "mom" to many. She impacted lives of everyone she met. We lost a sister, aunt, cousin and friend, but Heaven gained a beautiful angel to watch over her family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Vivian Egbert; and two brothers, Charles and Roger Egbert. Surviving family include sisters, Tyra (Gary) Dean of El Paso, TX and Edith Crouch of Hartford, MI; nieces, Elaine (Raul) Romero of El Paso, TX, Christy Quick of Roanoke, VA and Laurie (Tom) Johnson of Gladston, MI; nephews, Joseph (Suzi) Crouch of Evans, GA, John (Judy) Dean of South Bend, IN and Paul Egbert of Elkhart, IN. A special thanks to our friends, Cindy, Dave & Scott Young for all their help and support. We are also thankful for her sister-in-law, Claudia, for making the trip here from Florida to help make Betsy's last days more comfortable with making her transition from this life to the next.
