    Betty Wight

    Betty Grennan Wight, 87, of 2 Stothard Drive, Hilton, N.Y., formerly of Bradford, passed away Saturday (June 14, 2025) at Hildebrandt Hospice Care Center, in Rochester, N.Y., with her loving family by her side.

    Born Aug. 2, 1937, in Bradford, she was a daughter of the late Gilbert and Grace Sarah (Murray) Grennan. She was a 1955 graduate of Bradford High School.

    On June 10, 1961, in Bradford, she married Jerry L. Wight, who survives. They moved to Rochester (Greece) in 1972.

    Betty was very proud to be a stay-at-home wife and mother.

    She enjoyed taking care of her family and friends, sewing, and singing in the Greece Choral Society.  Everyone enjoyed her sense of humor, and Betty said she had the best husband and the best life anyone could have.

    Betty was a former member of First Presbyterian Church in Bradford, and Bethany Presbyterian Church in Greece. In the last few years she enjoyed watching Sunday worship service from Hilton Baptist Church on YouTube.

    Surviving in addition to her husband Jerry, of 64 years, are twin daughters, Ann (Jeff) Frey of Hilton and Amy (Randy) Caley of Greece; one son, Andy (Amy) Wight of Fairport, N.Y., six grandchildren; four great-granddaughters; and several nieces and nephews.

    In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by one sister, Jean Herbert; and two brothers, James Grennan and Robert Grennan.

    Family will receive friends from noon to 1 p.m. Friday (June 20, 2025) at Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes Inc., 33 South Ave., where funeral services will follow with the Rev. W. LeRoy Beckes, retired Presbyterian pastor, officiating. Committal services and burial will follow in Willow Dale Cemetery.

    Memorial contributions, if desired, may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.

    Funeral arrangements are under direction of Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes Inc. Online condolences may be expressed at hollenbeckcahill.com.
