WINSLOW – Elizabeth “Betty” Whitten, 87, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister, passed peacefully at home surrounded by family on Dec. 17, 2021. She was predeceased by the love of her life and husband, George Whitten, who passed away in 2017. Betty had a love of gardening and most certainly had a green thumb, particularly with roses. She was an avid reader and sports enthusiast, having had a family of athletes in which to follow. Both she and her husband George were affiliated with Waterville High School where they made countless friends and spent many happy days watching sports and connecting to others involved with the school. She even managed to earn the nickname “Cookie Lady,” as she loved visiting Creative Minds Daycare at the Tech Center and treating the children to cookies for each holiday.Betty leaves behind four children: Sandy Siviski and her husband, Robert, of Winslow; Terry Fales and her husband, Charles of Nantucket, Massachusetts; Richard Whitten of Waterville; and steven Whitten and his wife, Beth of Allen, Texas. Grandchildren include Amy Siviski-Bolduc and husband, Ryan Bolduc, Ryan Siviski, Brooks Paradis and wife Kelly, Sarah Siviski and husband, Gavin Webb, Stephanie Whitten and partner, Trent Bryson, Stacie Collins and husband Chase Collins, J.T. Whitten, Kaley, and Jake Whitten. Great-Grandchildren are Emma, Bronek, Jack, Rylie, Dermot, and Harper. She also had a special relationship with her younger sister, JoAnn “Kitty” Bryand, of Clinton (baby sister).After losing her husband in 2017, the family is grateful she was able to live with her daughter, Sandy, and son-in-law, Bob, for the remainder of her life in their active and loving home. She spent many days at their camp, maintaining flowers around the house, and most importantly, spending quality time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to whom she was affectionately known as “Ma.” Her family will miss her stories, banter and presence very much. All who knew her and her husband, George, know they are together again, as they always wanted to be. The family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction and care of Aable Cremation Service.
