ObituaryJul 25, 2012Annis Eaton November 19, 1927 - July 17, 2012

Annis "Betty" E. (Houghton) Eaton, age 84, of Fairhaven, passed away peacefully, Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at St Luke's Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She was the wife of Harold P. Eaton.
Born in New Market, New Hampshire, she was the daughter of the late James A. and Jeannette (Colombin) Houghton.
Betty worked as a tie in girl at New Bedford Rayon and a secretary at Text Worker's Union of America. She enjoyed reading and cooking. Betty had been a member of Good Shepherd since 1958 and had served the church in many ways. She had served on the Vestry for many terms and was Treasurer for 17 years. She also taught Sunday School. She had an all boy's class because back then the boys and girls were separated. -"and they were a handful", she said. In 1975 she became a licensed Lay Reader and Chalice Bearer, enabling her to give Communion to home-bound parishioners when it was needed. Betty always supported any activities the church had and worked in the kitchen for many events. Her favorite service to the church had been working on the Altar Guild, which she started doing in 1958. She said being on the Altar Guild is "very close to my heart". "You learn so much" when you work on the Altar Guild. It's more than preparing for the service- you learn all the meanings of the seasons of the Church Year-the different colors used and the special preparations.
Survivors in addition to her husband are her children Sandra Alphone and her husband James of Florida, Robin Eaton of New Bedford; four grandchildren, Bethany, Amy and Michael Prast, David Eaton and one great-grandchild, Isabella Andrini. She was the mother of the late William Prast, Jr and Linda E. Prast. She was the sister of the late George Nelson, Ellen Buhlmaier and Alberta Rogers.
Her funeral will be held Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 11am at The Church of the Good Shepherd, 357 Main Street, Fairhaven. Visiting hours are respectfully omitted. Burial will be on Monday, July 30th, at 10am in Riverside Cemetery. Friends and family welcome. Flowers may be sent to ROCK Funeral Home and Donations in her memory may be sent to The Church of the Good Shepherd, 357 Main St. Fairhaven, MA 02719.2

Deceased Name: BARBARA HOUGHTON DAVIS
COLUMBIA -- Barbara Houghton Davis, formerly of Newton, Maine, Wellesley, Maine, Princeton, N.J., and Worcester, Maine, passed away in her sleep in Palmetto Health Richland Memorial Hospital November 3, 2007, after a long, brave struggle with cancer. She was predeceased by her husband, Jack and she is survived by her daughter, Suzanne J. McDonald of Chapel Hill, N.C., her son, Jack Davis and his wife Barbara of Gloucester, Maine, and her four grandchildren, Zachary, Max, Samantha and Alexandra.

She was born in Newton, Maine, graduated from Mt. Ida College, and worked at MIT during WW II. She was also a realtor in Worcester, Maine, before moving to South Carolina. Throughout most of her life, she was a competitive tennis player and an avid bridge player.

In Columbia, she served as president of the Women's Club of Columbia, where she worked on the Literacy Council and the WW II Memorial in Five Points. She was also a strong supporter of Operation Smile, raising funds for correcting cleft lips, and she volunteered many hours at Providence Hospital.

A memorial service is planned for 11 a.m. December 8 at the Keenan Chapel in Trinity Episcopal Cathedral on Sumter St. in Columbia. Instead of flowers, the family is requesting donations to the Greater Columbia Literacy Council or Operation Smile, www.operationsmile.org.2
