BRUNSWICK — Betty A. Cagley passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 12, 2015, at the age of 67 at her home in Brunswick. She was born in Bangor, ME, on Oct. 26, 1947, the daughter of Daniel F. and Mary Elizabeth (Kelley) Lyden.

Betty graduated from Brunswick High School in 1966 and later went on to get her associate’s degree from Beal College and her bachelor’s from New Hampshire College. She was especially proud of the fact that she graduated with her degree shortly before her eldest daughter received her degree.

Until her retirement, Betty had been the office manager at Sun-Ray Animal Clinic. In her free time, Betty enjoyed being active with her dogs, doing agility, obedience and conformation with her Belgian Tervurens and Groenendaels. At the time of her death, Betty was loved by four cats and three dogs.

She is survived by her mother, Mary Elizabeth Lyden of Brunswick; and her three children: Dawn M. Drew and her spouse, Scott, of Moyock, NC; Jamie L. Fuller of Brunswick; James D. Cagley of Brunswick. She has three grandchildren: Dylon Fuller, Ethan Cagley and Alex Drew. She is also survived by her four sisters: Mary Jo Mauro of Auburn, Peggy Boucher of Auburn, Elly J. Lyden of Topsham, and Cathy Lyden of Waltham, MA; and her nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father, Daniel F. Lyden; her uncle, Joseph G. Kelley Jr.; and her aunt, Josephine Gutzwa.
