Obituary: Elizabeth Anne Strozewski

Elizabeth Anne Strozewski, at 91

With heavy hearts, the family of Elizabeth “Beth” Strozewski, 91, announces her passing on October 16, 2025 with her loving family by her side.

Mrs. Strozewski was born in Boston in 1934 and was the daughter of Harold and Dorothy (Eastman) Dimond. She was a lifelong resident of Hull who grew up in the Worrick Mansion alongside her sister, Jacqueline (Jackie) Dimond Connerty of Ogunquit, Maine, and her late brother, Robert (Bob) Dimond. 

Mrs. Strozewski was the wife of the late Raymond B. Strozewski Sr., her loving husband of 70 years. She is survived by daughters Deborah Anderson of South Easton, Donna and Edward (Ned) Woods of Hull, Laurel and Matthew Cheever of Kingston, and sons Raymond Jr. and Carol Strozewski of Bridgton, Maine, Jeffrey and Denise Strozewski of Braintree, and Michael and Angela Strozewski of Concord, New Hampshire. She was the cherished Nana of 14 grandchildren: Christopher (Jennifer), Scott (Erin), the late Edward III, Jennifer (Ryan), Brian (Veronica), Thomas (Cassandra), David (Nicole), Erica, Kyle (Katee), Zachary (Olivia), Chadwick, Cameron, Nathan (Erin), Jacob; and 12 great-grandchildren: Tatum, Chase, Halle, Brooke, Tyler, Riley, Ashley, Lucy, Calliope, Aiden, Madison, and Callan. 

Mrs. Strozewski graduated from Jeanne d’Arc Academy in Milton and Hingham High School and was employed at the Hull branch of the New England Telephone Company. She met the love of her life and husband-to-be, Ray Strozewski, at his Marine Ball at the Worrick Mansion. They married at St. Mary of the Assumption Church on Green Hill in 1954. Soon thereafter they brought six beautiful children into this world. Mr. and Mrs. Strozewski’s focus on family was their priority. They gathered for a few summers at a cottage on Fearing Pond in Plymouth, where the family enjoyed swimming, fishing, and boating. With six children, there was always something to do. Life was simple back then as the camp had no electricity and everyone used their imagination to keep occupied. Mrs. Strozewski occasionally organized card and board games, took the family blueberry picking at the local Boy Scout camp, and hosted “all you can eat blueberry pancake challenges” with friends nearby. Quiet times were spent finding fireflies and reading while listening to the whippoorwills and tree frogs at night. It was a magical time. Many a day, her children would come home from school to the smell of fresh cookies baking in the oven. 

Mrs. Strozewski was a wonderful artist who enjoyed pencil sketching and oil painting. In earlier years, she bowled and played golf. She was also a member of the Hull Garden Club and spent several years enjoying activities at the council on aging. One of her true passions was gardening. Her nurturing of plants was like that of nurturing her children. She did it with a sense of accomplishment, purpose, and passion. Upon retiring in 1985, Beth and Ray moved to Venice, Florida, for the winter months and summered in Hull. In 2010, they moved back to Hull to spend more time with their family, which was continuing to grow. Mrs. Strozewski was devoted to her husband and family and was always grateful for the life God blessed her with. We as a family will carry on her legacy, hold our heads high, and walk with pride for the beautiful life that she and Dad gave us. Now they are one with God above. 

Services will be attended by immediate family members only, with burial at Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne at a future date. As an expression of sympathy in honor of Mrs. Strozewski, the family suggests memorial contributions to the Hull Council of Aging.
