Betty always put others first, always willing to lend a helping hand in any capacity. She was a fabulous home maker, loved knitting, crocheting and sewing for her children and grandchildren. At the age of 44 she entered the workforce with the Federal Government and retired after 20 years of dedicated service. She was fiercely independent and had a passion for travelling, locally and abroad. In her later years, she enjoyed cruising with her family. For many years, Betty was a leader with the Girl Guides of Canada and she was also a lifetime member of the Empress (Bluebell Rebekah) Lodge in Niagara Falls for more than 66 years.
