RICHFIELD SPRINGS _ Elizabeth Eggleston, 84, of Elm Street, passed away peacefully Saturday, Oct. 20, 2007, in Bassett Healthcare, Cooperstown. She had the comfort of her loving family at her side.
She was born Sept. 24, 1923, in Paines Hollow, a daughter of the late Louis John and Hazel Annabel Scott Clements. A lifelong area resident, she was raised and educated in Richfield Springs.
On May 29, 1948, she was united in marriage to Elvin Carlton Eggleston in St. John's Episcopal Church. It was a loving and devoted union of 30 years until his passing Jan. 30, 1978.
For many years she had worked locally as a nurse's aide, retiring in 1963.
Betty had a strong belief in God and was a faithful member of St. John's Episcopal Church, Richfield Springs, where she had served as past president of the Women of St. John's. She was also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary.
In her leisure time, she enjoyed playing bingo and had an extensive collection of Betty Boop memorabilia.
She will always be remembered as an outgoing person, who was strong-willed but had a heart of gold.
She was happiest when surrounded by her family. She enjoyed her many travels throughout the country and abroad with her sons. Her love will be forever cherished and she will be greatly missed.
Surviving are her three sons and their wives, James and Jennifer Eggleston of Easton, Pa., Gerald and Terri Eggleston of Gilbert, Ariz., and Thomas and Betty Eggleston of Richfield Springs; two sisters, Louise Ainsworth and Nancy Conkling and her husband, William, all of Herkimer; one sister-in-law, Gertrude Mang of Mohawk; a brother-in-law, Donald Eggleston of Ilion; seven grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Besides her parents and husband, Elvin, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Louis Clements Jr. and Frederick Clements; and a sister, Florence Loomis.
Funeral services with Holy Eucharist from the Book of Common Prayer will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Saint John's Episcopal Church, Richfield Springs. The Rev. John Dixon Bartle, rector, will officiate. Interment will follow in Mohawk Cemetery.
The family will be present in J. Seaton McGrath Funeral Home, 40 West James St., Richfield Springs, to receive relatives and friends from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday.
