Thursday

Back to the East Coast

and most likely won't post for the next few days. Here is my grandmother's obituary, short and to the point (like she was, with love):

ELISABETH C. ALLEN
 'BETTY', 92, a longtime Jamestown resident died Tuesday. Shewas the wife of the late Max. G. Allen. Betty was a graduate of Brown 
University and served as a Lieutenant JG in the Navy in World War II. 
She leaves her children, Deborah Allen, Jane Barrett, Elisabeth LeFort 
and Michael Allen and 12 grandchildren. She was mother of the late Mark 
Allen and grandmother of the late Matthew Allen.

The funeral and burial will be private. A celebration of her life will be held 

during the summer. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to  
Conanicut Island Land Trust or to St. Elizabeth Home, One St. Elizabeth Way, 
East Greenwich, RI 02818. Condolences may be left at  
monahandrabblesherman.com.
