Betty K. Mason

ALBION – Betty K. Mason left this world on March 25, 2021. Her family was at her side.

Betty Knowlton Mason was born in Albion on July 11, 1918, the daughter of Cleve and Gladys Knowlton also of Albion. She graduated from Besse High School in the class of 1937. She married Robert Mason; they were married for 61 years and raised two children, David and Valerie.

Betty was the cook for many years at Albion schools. Later she was cook at Bethany Nursing home until she retired. Betty was famous for her pies and biscuits. Meals without homemade biscuits were rare at the Mason home. She was all about family and her happiest times were family gatherings at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and whenever the family could get together.

She was predeceased by her parents; her husband; and her brother, Robert Knowlton.

She is survived by her son, David and his wife Margaret, her daughter, Valerie; her grandchildren, Monica Bennett and her husband Paul; her great-grandchildren, Noah and Elizabeth; her grandson, Andrew Mason and his wife Caralee and daughter Kaley; and her sister-in-law, Joanne Knowlton.

Special thanks to Marsha Clifford, the medical staff at Lovejoy Health Center and the staff at Maine General Hospital in Augusta who cared for her during her last days. She held the Boston Post cane as Albion’s oldest citizen for nine years.

Burial will be at No 4 Cemetery in Albion. A celebration of her life will be held in July.

Arrangements are in the care of Lawry Brothers Funeral & Cremation Care, 107 Main St., Fairfield, where condolences may be shared with the family on the obituary page of the website at http://www.familyfirstfuneralhomes.com
