Elizabeth “Betty” Long

Born in Donegal, Ireland in 1929, Elizabeth “Betty” Long died peacefully Tuesday, October 15 in Princeton, New Jersey. After living in Scotland as a young woman, Betty, along with her lifelong best friend Isabella Motherwell, moved to Princeton in 1956.

Betty is survived by a large family and many friends, all of whom will miss those beautiful, smiling Irish eyes.

A funeral mass will be held on Friday, October 25, 11 a.m. at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, 54 East Prospect Street, Hopewell, N.J. 08525.
