Jean McGinnis
Elizabeth J. (Hill) McGinnis of Malden died Friday evening, July
11, 2008 at the Bear Hill Nursing Center in Stoneham,
she was 72. Born on December 26, 1935 in Quincy, she was the
daughter of the late Raymond and Myrtle (Will) Hill. Betty was
raised and educated in Quincy and was a graduate of Quincy High
School. After graduating high school, she attended nursing
school for a short time. In 1968, Betty moved to the Malden
area with her family. She was raised with a strong Episcopal
faith so when her children turned old enough, she ensured that
they too attended Sunday school. Betty worked for many years at
the UNICCO Service Co. in the payroll department. She was
recently recognized by the U.S. Government and Sen. Ted Kennedy
for her contributions to the company. Betty had just recently
retired in June of 2007. Betty also worked for Moulton
Electric Co. in Malden as well as First Security in East Boston.
Betty was an avid gardener and enjoyed tending to her flowers
and vegetables. She also was a tremendous cook and loved to
host Christmas dinners. Though she did love the swan boats in
Boston Common, Betty was known as a “homebody.” She thoroughly
enjoyed the comfort of her own home and spending time with her
children and grandchildren.
Betty is survived by her children, Dawn M. Jenkins of Lynn,
Patricia J. Magliochetti of North Andover, William A. Jenkins of
Stoneham, Elizabeth J. McGinnis of Peabody, and Kathleen A.
