Elizabeth Ann "Betsey" Adams, age 64, of Bridgewater passed away Friday March 11, 2010 in New Milford Hospital after an extended illness. She was born in Danbury December 14, 1946 a daughter of Michael Sedor of Newtown and the late Frances (Renner) Sedor. Betsey grew up in Newtown and was a graduate of Newtown High School, Class of 1964. She also was a graduate of Post College in Waterbury. Shortly after marrying Glenn Cecil Adams, Betsey and her husband flew to Germany to experience the world while young. Upon returning, Betsey devoted herself to her two great loves: family and her career. She loved to work almost as much as she loved her family and throughout decades successfully worked for a variety of small business in the area, including Olsen Heating and Plumbing, The Gold Report and her final employment at Mitler and Mercaldo of Danbury. Elizabeth had a boundless energy and in no way sacrificed her family for her work. She could often be found helping out with the Bridgewater Grange dinners, making jellies and jams or supporting St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Betsey always had time for her family and for humanity.She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. In addition to her husband and father, she is survived by her son Jason M. Adams and his wife Geri and two grandsons, Miles Carter and Glenn A. Adams all of Newtown.
