Betty was born in Winnipeg, MB, on August 8, 1934 and grew up on the family farm in Meadowdale, MB. After marrying Allan in 1956 she enjoyed a very full and adventurous life with her husband and five boys, countless family gatherings, travel, and numerous life long friends. Betty loved the outdoors and enjoyed having nature around her. Whether she lived in the city or in the country she always devoted the time and energy to producing a beautiful and bountiful garden, for everyone to share.
Betty was loved by many and we are all blessed to have had her in our lives. We will miss her dearly.

My mother Hilary suffered a significant stroke and ended up being transferred to the Victoria Hospital. What was a sad situation for us led to the meeting of her angel Betty. Betty would watch over my mom when we weren't there and even when we were. She was such a sweet person and I was truly blessed to have crossed paths with her. Her "boys" Darrell and Glenn would faithfully visit her everyday. She talked about all of them with great pride. Take care and know that she touched so many people's lives with her sweetness. - Posted by: Melanie Schade (Acquaintance ) on: Aug 24, 2019

Our sincere sympathy to Betty's family. We knew Betty and Al when they lived in Marston Meadows. They were a lovely couple who were a pleasure to be with. - Posted by: Arlene and Les Harley (neighbours) on: Aug 23, 2019
