Elizabeth D. Somers, 94, a longtime Princeton resident, died Sunday, May 10, 2015 at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Hamilton, NJ, of natural causes.
Born in New York City, Elizabeth came to Princeton in 1921 with her parents Giovanni and Raffelina (DeAngelis) DiMeglio, both born in Ischia, Italy.
Upon arrival here, her father began the Rialto Barber Shop on Witherspoon Street. From the age of five years old, Elizabeth started helping her father in the barber shop. At the age of 12, she and her mother worked for the National Recovery Administration. Elizabeth graduated from Princeton High School and Rider College and was employed as a secretary by both Dr. John F. Sly at Princeton University and subsequently Dr. Paul Chesebro at the Hun School from where she retired. After retirement, she went to work at her son's law office on Harrison Street where she was well liked by all of the office clientele.
Elizabeth wed George B. Somers in 1948. Their son, George B. Somers, Jr. was born on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC while his father was attending law school. Years later, the family moved back to Princeton where George, Jr. opened his practice.
Mrs. Somers was predeceased by her parents, two sisters; Vincenza "Nancy" (DiMeglio) Guanieri and Mary (DiMeglio) Hodges, niece Susan DiMeglio and two nephews John DiMeglio and Robert Guanieri.
