Elizabeth (Betty) Hatch Henrikson died April 20 in Savannah, Ga. She was 95.
Born in New York city on July 23, 1925, Betty and her younger brother, John B. Wight, grew up in Montclair, N.J., raised by their parents Dorothy A. Booth and Goulding K. Wight.
She fondly remembered Montclair as a wonderful town, experiencing a happy and secure childhood. Among her vivid recollections were summer family visits to Martha’s Vineyard, sailing up Long Island Sound on the old Fall River Line, transferring at New Bedford to the classic steamers Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket, and disembarking at Oak Bluffs. The Island was the place that would leave an indelible imprint throughout her long life.
