  Obituary excerpt from The News Journal, Jan 4, 2008: "Elisabeth H. Deveraux (Bettie) passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 31, 2007 at the Masonic Home of Delaware after a lengthy illness."  "She was the daughter of the late Lawrence J. and Ruth W. Harrington of Wilmington, DE.  Bettie was a graduate of Sanford School and Beacom College and worked for 30 years as a secretary in the Textile Fibers Department of the Dupont Company.  She retired in 1971 to become a homemaker.  She was a Life Member of the Dupont Country Club where she often played golf with her husband or her girlfriends.  Bettie's favorite sport was bowling which she enjoyed for many years as a member of the Dupont Country Club Women's Bowling League.  She especially appreciated the camaraderie of the league members.  Failing health denied her that pleasure." "She is survived by her husband of 58 years and her sister Jean Miller of West Chester, PA"
