Elizabeth “Betty” Perrin, 98 years old, passed away July 1, 2011 at 7:45 a.m. in Bellingham, Washington. She was born to Daniel Hezekiah Perrin and Mary Elizabeth (McIntyre-Douglass) Perrin on April 9, 1913 in West Thompson Township, Connecticut.
At the age of 6, her family migrated by wagon toward Colorado to homestead a farm in Fort Lupton, later living in a quaint little Victorian style house in Englewood, Colorado for most of her adult life after the passing of her folks. She reminisced from time to time about the adventure of that trip, and the trip they’d made to Niagara Falls on a train once when she was just a child. She’d fondly remember her “Papa” bringing some small thing “every day for Mama, even if it was just a little flower he’d pick on the road as he walked home from work… and how he’d sit after dinner on the steps and carve wood toys for the kids on Sunday afternoons.”
She loved to travel, garden, she read voraciously, crocheted almost daily until her eyesight got so bad… And she loved to quilt and do other crafts. Yard sales were her undying passion second only to her morning two cups of coffee!
She was preceded in death by both of her parents, her eldest sister, Emma Eugenia, and brother Harold Leroy Perrin.
