Elizabeth (Betty) Din, age 90, of Wayne, passed peacefully at home on Monday, July 18, 2016.
Betty was born and raised up through the age of eighteen in Manchester, England. One night when Betty’s mother’s friend was having people over there was this handsome young US Army Air Corps soldier named Charles Din, Jr. who spied her from across the room. He asked her to go out and she flatly said “no.” but Betty’s mom ruled with a bit of an iron hand and told her that she would go out with that nice young man. Betty listened to her mom and soon fell in love with Charles. They married at her mother’s home in Manchester, England. As newlyweds they lived in England where their first son Allan was born. Charles convinced Betty to move to the United States and soon they were calling 1929 Washington Street in the Bronx, New York home. Charles came first to establish a residence and his war bride Betty and son Allan soon followed. Betty was not impressed with Charles’ choice of a residence, and was mortified by the cockroaches she saw crawling about. She told Charles “I can’t live with those!” It was there that their first daughter Elizabeth (Betty) was born. The family moved to Saddle Brook, New Jersey where they were blessed with another daughter Patricia. After a move to the bustling town of Paterson, Betty had two more sons, Denis and Darren. After brief stays in Elmwood Park and Florida, the family moved to Pompton Lakes. Upon Charles’s passing in 1982, Betty and her daughter Elizabeth (Betty)and children were living in Bloomingdale, then back to Pompton Lakes for a brief stay before moving into the Edward Sisco Village in Wayne where they have lived for the past 22+ years.
Betty couldn’t hide the England flowing through her veins and was always calling others “love” and drinking her “spot of tea with milk - no sugar.” She will be remembered as a loyal, generous, happy person who was always willing to help others. She loved to sing and even recorded singing sessions on tape. Her home was always neat and tidy as everything had a place and there was a proper place for everything. Most of all Betty loved being a mom. She made the work of being a mom look effortless. The only time the kids got in the way was when she was watching her beloved Soap Opera’s on television. Often during the show the children would be told “go outside!”
Betty was devoted to her Catholic Faith. For many years she was a parishioner of Saint Stephen’s Church in Paterson. She even taught kindergarten there for a few years. Upon moving to Wayne she became a parishioner of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish in Wayne. For many years she was close personal friends with the founding priest Msgr. Stanley Schinski. She attended Mass here daily for over forty years and served as a Eucharistic Minister, sang in the choir, and was always making sure the sanctuary was clean, neat, and the alter cloths were pressed and displayed perfectly.
She was the beloved wife of 37 years to the late Charles Din, Jr. (1982); devoted mother of Allan Din and his wife Iris of Floral City, FL, Elizabeth (Betty) Benitez of Wayne, Patricia Din of Oak Ridge, the late Denis Din (March 2014), Darren Din and his wife Janet of Hardyston; cherished grandmother of Erik Din and his wife Jacole, William Benitez, Carolann Jaworski, Lori Benitez and her fiancé Andrew Derendal, David Benitez and his wife Jysseth, and the late Denis Din, Jr. (April 2014) and his surviving wife LaLaina; she was the loving great-grandmother of Kerri Abdallah, Joseph Benitez, Erik Abdallah, Benjamin Benitez, Gianna Benitez, Alyssa Benitez, Brian Benitez, Logan Din, Gavin Jaworksi, Braxton Din, and Icely Din; she is survived by her sister Patricia Britten of Manchester, England; her niece, Sandra and husband Michael Jones, and their children Ian and Michelle, and was predeceased by her siblings Denis, Jim, Thomas, and Mari.
