Elizabeth "Betty" Musorafite, 93, passed away suddenly on Friday, Sept. 7, 2018, at Easton Hospital, surrounded by her loving family.
She was the wife of the late Antonio V. Musorafite, who passed away on May 29, 2008.
Born Aug. 5, 1925, in New York City, Betty was the daughter of the late Rosario and Alesandrina (Butti) Colicchio, who passed away when Elizabeth was only four. She was then raised by her father Rosario and stepmother, Dena Colicchio.
Betty was a member of St. Jane Frances de Chantal Roman Catholic Church. She had been a member of the American Legion Post 9, the Golden Age Club and the Ambassador Club of Palmer Township.
Betty loved life and relished in times spent with her family and friends. She enjoyed playing cards, was lucky at bingo and was a phenomenal Italian cook. She was an avid crafter who generously donated over 100 handmade crochet blankets to her church for babies, the sick and needy. She led by example, instilling in her children the importance of family and being together.

She is also survived by one brother, Guido Colicchio of Florida.
In addition to her husband and parents, Betty was preceded in death by a sister, Lucy Bartunek, and a brother, Louie Colicchio.
