Obituary for Betty Guiheen (Herring)
Betty (Herring) Guiheen, 96, of Vernon, beloved wife of late Patrick Guiheen passed away February 18, 2022 in the comfort of her own home. Betty was born June 21, 1925 in Montpelier, VT and is the daughter of late Lucius and Ethel Herring.
Betty loved a good road trip or vacationing with her family in years past. These vacations were often to cabins rented sight unseen as part of the adventure and a chance for everyone to be under one roof again. Throughout her life she loved a good honky tonk song, any sassy saying, and anything published by Danielle Steel. She loved many more things as well but none more than her family, as anyone who visited her could easily see by her extensive photograph collection.
Besides her loving husband and parents, she was predeceased by her siblings and three of her children Patrick (Debra) Guiheen, Rosemary Guiheen, and Kathleen Slater. Betty is survived by her children Michael (Jean) Martin, Evelyn (Chuck) Paine, and Philip (Cindy) Martin and Debra Guiheen. A joy of Betty’s life were her numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Betty had a generous heart and open door to anyone who needed it. She was instrumental in raising her grandchildren Sarah (Slater) Berard and Pearl Julian. Betty was predeceased by her best friend, Helen.
Being at home was of great importance to Betty and her family was able to give her this comfort with the help of the Vernon Visiting Nurses of CT, for that we are truly grateful.
Relatives and friends may join the family on Sunday, February 20, from 2-4 p.m. at the Burke-Fortin Funeral Home, 76 Prospect Street, Rockville.
All services will be private at the convenience of the family. For online condolences please visit: www.pietrasfuneralhome.com
