Elizabeth Ann Roney Winne

Elizabeth “Betty”Ann Roney Winne — who loved exotic birds and flew to Paris to shop for clothes — died of multiple debilitating illnesses on Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2021, in Pasadena, Florida near her beloved daughter, Debora. She was 75.

Born in Slingerlands on Sept. 17, 1947, she graduated from Bethlehem Central High School in 1964. She worked at Blue Cross/Blue Shield in Slingerlands until she married Peter Winne, an airline mechanic working for Pan American and Delta airlines.

The couple moved many times during their marriage, keeping a home at Helderberg Lake for many years.

“While living in Georgia, Betty Ann was a devoted enthusiast of exotic birds,” her family wrote in a tribute. “She started her own business, Betty Ann’s Birdhouse, till their move to Florida.

“She enjoyed her family and her flights to Paris to do her clothes shopping. When they moved to Florida, she joined the ladies in the Red Hat society and continued to make many more friends, before her illness struck.”
