Betty L. Grant

August 7, 1921- December 24, 2009
Betty L. (Malm) Grant, age 88, passed away on Christmas Eve. Her
family moved to Malden in 1925 from Boston. Her grandfather who
had the down payment on the $4,000 house did not want to leave
the Swedish community in Roslindale, but when he saw Maplewood
Square with Swedish names on the businesses and churches, he
agreed to the move. Betty grew up on Willard St. and attended
the Ayers, Maplewood, and Browne Jr. High Schools. She proudly
graduated from Malden High in 1939 and from Malden Commercial
School in 1940.
Betty worked at Revere Knitting Mills in Malden and Wakefield
for 20 years and H. P. Hood in Charlestown for 15 years. She
enjoyed working every day and made long lasting friendships at
both businesses. She continued to bowl with her Revere
Knitting Mills friends until 3 years ago.
She will be dearly missed by her daughter Terry Andrea Hauck
(and Jack) of Gloucester, her son, Andrew Grant (and Judy) of
Malden; grandchildren Kristen Derosier (and Lloyd) of E.
Kingston NH, Jennifer Grant of Middleton, Matthew Hauck (and
Jen) of Reading, Kateri Grammas (and Grier) of Gloucester, and
Jessica Hauck of Gloucester. Also, 8 great grandchildren:
Morgan and Lucas Derosier; Wenzday Meimaris; Carla, Logan and
Noah Hauck; and Alexis and Gavin Grammas. She also leaves a
brother and sister-in-law, John and Ginny Grant of Wells ME and
many dear nieces and nephews.
