In Memoriam
Elisabeth B. Giffin1929-2024
COOPERSTOWN—On Monday evening, July 8, 2024, the Village of Cooperstown lost one of its long-time residents, Elisabeth “Betty” Giffin, when she passed into eternal life while en-route from Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown to Valley Health Services in Herkimer following a brief illness. She was 95.
Many knew Betty by name, perhaps from working with her at Bassett Hospital for many years; she may have been your OR nurse! Perhaps you knew her from worshipping together at church? Many dined with her at the Retired Nurses luncheons, or maybe met her at the Fenimore Quilt Club, or the quilt show.
