Elizabeth “Betty” Swett Grinnell passed away on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at Pen Bay Hospital in Rockport, Maine. She was born in Mexico, Maine on October 21, 1924, to the late Fred and Hazel Swett.

Betty graduated from Washington High School. She was married to the late Jim Grinnell, and they made their lifelong home in Washington, Maine. She was employed with the US Postal Service for many years until her retirement. She continued to live in their home after Jim passed away in 2014. She lived there until she was 99 years old and due to failing health, she moved to Crawford Commons Assisted Living in Union, Maine. She loved the residents and staff there and they loved her. She turned 100 years old in October of 2024 and was given a beautiful birthday party by the staff, with lots of family and friends in attendance.
