Obituary
Elizabeth Ann DeRosa (née Fritz), 81, Middle Island, NY on December 21, 2023.
Born on June 17, 1942, in Mt Calvary, Wisconsin to Anthony and Rose Fritz. She is predeceased by siblings Connie and Mary, and survived by brother Joe and many nieces and nephews.
Happily married for 57 years to Charles “Ron” DeRosa III (deceased).
Loving mother of Anthony (Joan), Karen Yager (Robert), and Michael (Elizabeth). Proud grandmother of Kimberly, Ryan, Joseph, Julianna, Christina and Alexander.
Her life was centered around her family, and she was a friend to all. She worked as a typesetter for a local town newspaper. She and Ron raised their family in Smithtown before relocating to live out their years in Middle Island, where they forged many friendships and participated in activities that the community had to offer. She attended all of her grandchildren’s special moments, to include baptism, first communion, school graduations, and sporting events.
She was fond of crocheting blankets for her family and for charitable organizations, gardening, cooking and baking.
She will be missed by all.

We will miss Betty and her sincere, warmth and generous kindness. I never witnessed anything but gentle light from Dee-Dee. She reminded me of how no matter what is going on in our world there’s always time to see positive and appreciate one another. I will always remember that sweet, sparkle in her expression, just as shown in her photo above. I like thinking that she will sit by Ron’s Side once again and watch over her beautiful family and grandchildren from above. Rest in peace, Betty.

DeeDee was always so sweet and embracing. A wonderful humanbeing. This world will be little darker without her light. May she rest in eternal peace. My love and prayers go to the family.

I met Betty in 1964 when I came home on leave from the Air Force. She accepted me immediately as the new bride of my brother Ron. The years passed , our families grew. She was my sister. I love you Betty and will look back on almost 60 years of memories . You were truly a gift to all who knew you . Rest well , you deserve it and say hi to Ron .
