BINGHAM – Elizabeth “Betty” F. Hunnewell, 89, passed away in Florida at the home of her daughter on Monday, April, 10, 2023 surrounded by love and cared for by her children.

Elizabeth Jane, was born on April 24, 1933 to Doris and Wendall Farrar in Plainville, Conn. After graduating from Bingham High School, she went on to wed Stanton Hunnewell on Sept. 20. 1952 and they raised their four children in the Bingham area. Elizabeth dedicated her life to her family, church, and service to the community.

Her love of music took her on a choral journey from Plainville Junior Choir to Bingham First Congregational Church Choir, where she remained a member until her passing. After becoming a member of the Stanley Bean Post 99 American Legion Auxiliary in 1952, she held the office of past president. Upon learning to ski, Betty became a member of the Baker Mountain Ski Tow Club and enjoyed watching many generations of children take to the slopes.
