Obituary for Elizabeth B. Little
The Burlington Free Press, Mar 29 2015, P. C13, Col. 2-3, with photo

"ELIZABETH B. LITTLE - SHELBURNE - Elizabeth B. Little, 103, of Shelburne, died March 27, 2015, at her Wake Robin residence. She was born July 5, 1911, in Baltimore, Md. After graduating from the Friends School in Baltimore in 1929, she attended Syracuse University, majoring in journalism. At Syracuse, she met and married Thomas Sproston, while he was studying for his Ph.D. in Botany. After four years in Amherst, Mass., they moved to Burlington in 1946. Tom taught at the University of Vermont, while Betty joined the Burlington Free Press as a reporter, a position she proudly held for 29 years. They were instrumental in the renewal of the Lake Champlain Yacht Club and enjoyed sailing on Lake Champlain, until Tom's death in 1988. Another passion was the Klifa Club on Pearl Street, where she was an active member.
In 1990, she married Professor George T. Little and they became among the first residents of the Wake Robin community. They enjoyed spending time with his children, George Jr., David, Katie, and his grandchildren. Together, they traveled to many international destinations. Back home, Betty continued her interest in journalism, writing for the Shelburne paper. She was particularly committed to the welfare of animals, giving generously to a fund she established through the Vermont Community Foundation, which supports animal shelters in Vermont."
