Betty grew up in Airdrie,
Alberta. She married and raised her children on a farm in Beiseker, later moved
to Calgary and raised her children independently in Calgary. She worked for
Gulf Canada until retirement, met Hale, and moved back to Airdrie where she
enjoyed 35 happy years with the love of her life. She was surrounded by love
and tremendous care in her final months.
Betty loved travelling,
playing the organ, playing cards & bingo, bowling, and watching the
Chuckwagons. She was an avid sports enthusiast. Betty was also known to her
loved ones as an underrated commentator for professional curling games. Betty
especially loved being surrounded by her family and friends at the Hill. She
cherished her time spent with her 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
Betty will be remembered as
a woman of strength, unconditional love, abundant kindness, generosity, and her
unfailing sense of humour.
