WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Susan Carter Benedict, 82, of 35 Adams Road, Meadowvale Apartments, died peacefully on Saturday, June 9, 2012, at North Adams Regional Hospital.

Through the past three years, she had a special bond with the staff and residents of Williamstown Commons, living there for several months in 2009 and again in 2012.
