Mary Elizabeth “Bette” London, 94, of Punxsutawney, passed away on Thursday, July 22, 2021, while convalescing at Christ the King Manor, DuBois.
She was born April 4, 1927, in Little Rock, Arkansas, daughter of the late Ada (Jones) and Edward Cassin.

Bette is survived by three generations of nieces and nephews, many of whom Guy and Bette opened their home to when they needed a place to stay as the journeyed trough life.
Bette loved doing watercolor painting and collecting antiques, many of which are lovingly displayed in several of her families’ homes.
Bette was a member of Saints Cosmas and Damian Church of Punxsutawney.
A funeral mass will be held at 11 A.M., Saturday, July 24, 2021, at SS.C.D. Church with Monsignor Joseph Riccardo officiating.
