Elizabeth Betty Cugini.
Betty Cuginiâs relatives never had a store-bought pair of mittens or gloves. They had handmade pairs knitted by Betty, probably near a certain tree on the beach at Peterâs Pond Campground while her husband sat in the shade.
A lifelong resident of Weymouth, Betty met her husband Joe when they were 14 and 17, respectively. They did not spend a day apart until Joe died at the age of 89.
Known as Betty, Elizabeth Cugini died April 27 of complications from COVID-19. She was 91.
