Elizabeth M. "Betty" Mingels

Elizabeth M. “Betty” Mingels, age 94, passed away peacefully in the Maples Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Wrentham, Massachusetts on Monday, November 19, 2018.  Born in Norwood, Massachusetts on March 21, 1924, she was the daughter of the late William T. and Elizabeth A. (Gulat) Mingels.  As a lifelong resident of Walpole, Massachusetts, Betty graduated from Walpole High School with the Class of 1941.  She furthered her education at the Gillis Business School, earning her certificate two years later.

 

Betty spent her career at Hollingsworth and Vose in East Walpole, working as the executive secretary to the Vice President of Research and Design.  She retired in 1989, after 38 years of dedicated service.  In addition to her professional career, Betty was the primary care giver for both her mother and father and later for her brother after he suffered a stroke. 

 

Betty looked forward to her annual trip to Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island in Florida, a tradition she started in 1960.  Back at home, as a devoted music fan, Betty spent countless hours perfecting her piano playing skills.
