Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

My deepest sympathies to Betty’s family. I met Betty when I started as a 19 year old at Reimer Express Lines. Betty was a mentor and a friend and I will never forget our trip to Ottawa to visit another co worker and friend, Nina. Betty was kind and a champion of all the admins and I looked up to her for her wonderful advice. A truly lovely and gracious lady. - Posted by: Barbara Ciecko (McLaren) (Friend) on: Apr 27, 2025

So sorry for your loss. Betty was my dad’s admin assistant for years at Northern Paint. Betty was such a kind and gentle person. My fathers name was John Mullan. - Posted by: Kara Held (Friend) on: Apr 12, 2025

Time for Betty to join the love of her life Ed. Ray and I spent many many happy times in Palm Springs with this very special lady. We had many laughs and great times which are memories I will hang on to and think of very often. Betty would talk about her family and life with Ed at many happy hours in our back yard always staying upbeat. Always ready to be picked up in the golf cart and head to the club for the dinners. When it came time for curling to come on you always knew where Betty would be in front of the TV watching every game. This was one special lady we had in our life so I say thank you Betty for all the good times. Your friend Janis. - Posted by: Janis giesbrecht (Friend) on: Apr 12, 2025
