Elizabeth A. Swiezy of Westhampton Beach, previously of Manorville and Dix Hills, died in her home with her family at her side on April 30. She was 90.
She was known as Betty to her friends and family.
Swiezy was born in Brooklyn on August 25, 1931. She enjoyed dancing, gardening and spending time with her grandchildren.
She served over 30 years volunteering at both Huntington Hospital and Peconic Bay Medical Center. Her family is very thankful to the staff at the Hampton Bays Senior Center, who brought much light into her life the past few years. She always looked forward to having a Danish and coffee and socializing with her peers.
She was predeceased by her husband Adolf Swiezy. She is survived by her children Nancy, Christopher (Denise), and Alice Butkos (Darryl); her grandchildren, Daniel, Dianne, Elizabeth, Sarah and Grace; her great-grandchildren, Jack and Cecilia; and her brother Edward (Alice) Bradin.
There will not be a traditional viewing as she is being cremated. A Catholic Mass will be held on May 9 at 10 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Church, 580 Main Street, Westhampton Beach. A burial ceremony will follow at Calverton National Cemetery at noon at the permanent shelter.
Family and friends are invited to congregate at her home after the service to share their memories and to celebrate her life.
In lieu of Flowers, a donation in her honor to East End Hospice (eeh.org) would be appreciated. They were very supportive and guided the family during her last days, providing comfort and care she needed, her family said.
