Elizabeth Pierce of the Hideout, Lake Ariel, died peacefully on Wednesday evening Dec 14^th 2022 at Wayne Memorial Hospital after suffering a brief and sudden illness.  Her husband of 49 years David Pierce and her daughter Jessica Pierce were alongside her when she passed.

Born in Queens, NY, daughter of the late William and Margaret Farrell Volland, she was a graduate of Ridgewood High School and had worked as an executive secretary for a number of brokerages.

Also surviving are her son Michael Pierce and wife Michelle; her brother Robert Volland and wife Patricia ‘the sister she never had’; her grandson Bradford Pierce and wife Hayleigh; her grandson Hayden Pierce; her niece Bette Lynn Volland; and her nephew Billy Volland.  She was predeceased by her older brother Charlie “Chuck” Volland.

Elizabeth was known to everyone as Betty and she touched the lives of everyone she knew.  She was lucky to be married to her best friend for nearly 50 years and was a devoted wife.  She had many close friends, many of which she considered to be her extended family.  Her smile and laughter were contagious and she made friends with nearly anyone she came across.  She was the best mom anyone could ask for and she was a ‘mom’ at one time or another to many kids growing up.  She was a great listener, a social director and a great friend.  She is going to be missed terribly by anyone that was lucky enough to know her.

Betty wanted a party after she passed.  To honor her, the family will be hosting a celebration of her life on a date to be determined in the new year.  If anyone would like to be notified about the date and time, please send your contact information to  jessicapierce555@gmail.com or 845-532-0118.

Cremation took place in the Lake Region Crematory, Lake Ariel.

Arrangements are under the direction of the James Wilson Funeral Home, Lake Ariel.
