Elizabeth J. Mythen of Florida, N.Y., died peacefully at Westchester Medical Center on Friday, July 10, 2020. Born July 5, 1930, “Betty” was fortunate to celebrate her 90th birthday.
The daughter of Katherine Nosal and Joseph Miloszewski, she was born and raised in Florida, N.Y.
Elizabeth grew up a farm girl on Settler’s Farm and later went to Manhattan where she met and married her husband Patrick. Returning back to her hometown, Elizabeth and Pat raised their family and spent 60 years together.
A beautiful mom and amazing woman, she raised seven children and embraced her grandchildren with a love that every human should have the opportunity to feel. She was strong, kind, fierce to protect her family and often “adopted” many Village of Florida kids who needed a little extra love.
