wed Stanton Hunnewell on Sept. 20. 1952 and they raised

their four children in the Bingham area. Elizabeth dedicated her life to

her family, church, and service to the community.

Congregational Church Choir, where she remained a member until her passing. After becoming a

member of the Stanley Bean Post 99 American Legion Auxiliary in 1952, she held the office of past

president. Upon learning to ski, Betty became a member of the Baker Mountain Ski Tow Club and

enjoyed watching many generations of children take to the slopes. Her zest for crafting led her to
