WATERBURY - Elizabeth "Betty" (Doyle) Lewis age 89 of Waterbury passed away peacefully at the Vitas Innovative Care Unit of St. Mary's Hospital surrounded by her family. She was the wife of the late Walter Lewis who was the love of her life for 57 years.
Betty was born on November 26, 1928 in Waterbury the daughter of the late Francis and Margaret (Skahan) Doyle. She was a graduate of Sacred Heart Grammar and High School. Betty worked at Sacred Heart Rectory, Sacred Heart High School and finally as the bookkeeper and secretary at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. She was a woman of great faith and was loyal to her faith until the very end. What was most important to Betty was her family. She was happiest when she was surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She had a wonderful sense of humor and would always remind her children that "the best proof of any union is what it produces". Of all the gifts that life has to offer, a loving and devoted mother is the greatest of them all. Betty will be sadly missed by all who were blessed to know and love her.
