Elizabeth Lennon
Jan 4, 1946 — Nov 2, 2026
Plattsburgh
Elizabeth “Betty” Lennon, 80, of Plattsburgh, passed away on Monday, November 2nd, 2026 at UVHN: CVPH Medical Center. She was born in Malone, NY on January 4th, 1946, the daughter of James and Elizabeth “Bessie” Gardner Lennon.
Betty graduated from Chateaugay Central School in 1964 and attended Secretary school in 1965 at Our Lady of Victory. She went onto work at SUNY Plattsburgh which was only supposed to be for 2 weeks and never left. She worked in Memorial Hall as the Secretary for Dr. Ernie Rangazas and Peter Laguri. It is often mentioned that she was truly “The Boss, “of the office. She was a dedicated CSEA activist for over 40 years and took her role as the CSEA President seriously truly caring about all members. Betty also served as a CSEA State Representative for SUNY as well as a long time member and President of the Northeast Labor Council. In retirement she enjoyed volunteering her time at the Cat Rescue in Plattsburgh which continued to show her caring nature.
Betty was a caring woman who saw the best in everyone and was not afraid to voice and fight for what she believed in. Maine was always her favorite place to visit, often finding peace in walking the Marginal Way, sitting having ice cream at The Nubble Lighthouse, or simply listening to the ocean. However, she was a fierce card player when it came to the card game, Canasta, with her sisters, no one was safe not even her teammate.
She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Bessie Lennon, sisters, Barbara Scott and Carol Lennon, and nephew James Scott. She is survived by her sisters, Ellen Lennon and Cheryl Lennon of Brainardsville, and Evelyn Brown of Plattsburgh along with many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.
A memorial service will be held at Brown Funeral Home in Plattsburgh, New York, on November 9th, 2026, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm with a service to follow. Following the service there will be a Celebration of Life at Betty’s favorite restaurant, Mickey’s.
In lieu of flowers donations can be sent to the Cats Rescue & Adoption Services in Plattsburgh, NY or to the local cancer center.
