Elizabeth "Betty" Fryc

Elizabeth "Betty" Fryc of Odenton, MD passed away on Saturday, January 29, 2011 at the Tate Chesapeake Hospice House in Linthicum, MD, at the age of 78. Betty was born on October 9, 1932 in St. John's Newfoundland, Canada and was the daughter of the late Francis Glynn and Mary (Thorn) Glynn.

Betty's hobbies and interests were primarily centered upon family events and activities. She especially loved the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, family vacations to the beach, and Bingo. She also enjoyed being part of the St. Joseph's Ladies Sodality and the Red Hat Society. Her "gift of gab" and caring nature resulted in her being part of many deep and meaningful friendships. Loved, admired, and respected in her home, neighborhood, church, and community, Betty's personality, wit, and charm, will be sorely missed by all.

Betty is survived by her four children, Debbie Biggerstaff of Severn, MD, Donald Fryc of Fort Bliss, TX, Patti Haddaway of Glen Burnie, MD and Judi Golian of Eldersburg, MD; 14 grandchildren; sister, Mary and brother, Gordon.
