Elizabeth (Betty) Rose Conroy, daughter of Delores (Mercolino) and Frank Morassi, age 82, died on July 8, 2023. She was born June 2, 1941, in Springfield, Massachusetts. She was a 1959 graduate of Agawam High School, where she served on multiple reunion committees. Betty married Michael Conroy in 1963 and later moved to Tennessee in 1967. She lived in East and Middle Tennessee for the rest of her life.

Betty was a devout Catholic and an active participant at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church in Morristown, Tennessee, Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Jefferson City, Tennessee, and for the last 15 years was a member of Saint Frances Cabrini Catholic Church in Lebanon, Tennessee.

She was also a member of the Ladies’ Altar Society, Bereavement Committee, Rosary Group, Auxiliary member of the Legion of Mary, and she devoted her time and talents to the church and parish office as well.

She was more than just a minister to people. Betty was an inspiration, mentor, and friend.
