She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 50 years, Dr. Nicholas Chubb, Sr. Betty Lou was the daughter of Darlington A. Brown and Verna L. Brown (Wirtz) of Lewistown, PA. She was born June 14, 1923. She was a registered nurse and graduate of Bryn Mawr Nursing School and practiced as a nursing supervisor of Delivery Rooms and the Operating Room. During WWII, she sold war bonds and made bandages.

Devoted in her faith she served for years as alter guild director, as a lay minister and as a member of Daughters of The King. She was affectionately called “Mother Elizabeth” by her close friends. She was a volunteer with the American Red Cross and an avid Penn State football fan. She loved exploring Alaska with her husband and with beloved friend, Barbara Eldridge.

She will be truly missed by all who knew her and remembered for her sense of humor, laughter, kindness, love of her teddy bears, chocolate, and dogs, and for her hugs, and beautiful smile.
