Betty was born April 5, 1934 in Shellmouth Manitoba. She met John in 1954 and married him 10 months later May 21, 1955 in Oliver BC. In the next 7 ½ years her 4 boys were born. Betty and John enjoyed travelling, having travelled through Canada, the United States and Europe. Betty had a very generous and giving nature. She volunteered with the Richmond Hospital Auxiliary, the Soup kitchen in Vancouver, The Bishop’s Storehouse (LDS church). Her door was always open for her family and friends, even those she had not yet met. She will be fondly remembered by all those whose lives she touched. She was always willing to accompany anyone to a good thrift store or garage sale looking for the best bargain available. She spent countless hours in her yard beautifying her garden.
A Memorial service will be held for Betty, Saturday, October 2, 2019 at 6300 Tyson Road Chilliwack BC at 2:00 pm.
We would like to thank Dr Bedir and Dr. Brown for the kindness they showed Betty while she was under their care. We would also like to thank the staff of Heritage Village who showed much love and kindness to mom while she was a resident.
