Elizabeth L. "Betty" Chiri-Lawson, age 91, of Troy (formerly of Royal Oak), passed away peacefully on November 2, 2021 while at Beaumont Hospital in Troy. Betty was born in Detroit on May 14, 1930 to William J. and Vera Chiri (née Kinsman). She graduated from Cass Tech High School in 1948. She was married to Raymond G. Lawson on April 17, 1976 at First United Methodist Church of Royal Oak. Betty and Ray were old car enthusiasts. In fact, Betty was the first woman to serve as director of the local chapter of the Buick Antique Car Club. Betty was also an avid animal lover who owned sometimes four to five animals at one time. Betty was predeceased by her husband Ray; her parents, William and Vera; her brother, William; and her step-daughter Cynthia. Betty is survived by three step-children: Jaren Tunison, Julie Lawson, and Jeff Lawson; and her cousins, Patricia O'Conner and Denise Brown. Per Betty's wishes, she will be cremated and buried with her husband, Ray. There will be no services.
