1935 - 2023

With broken hearts we announce the passing of our dear Mom at the age of 88 on November 17, 2023.

Predeceased by her loving husband William (Bill), loving mother to Frank, Wendy, Kellea (Michael), Clayton (Laura), Regan (Joanne).

Precious Nan to Alacea, Kristen (Ross), Kyle (Lindsay), Evan, Mitchell (Riley), Jaden, Samuel and Luke. Sweetest G-Nan to Natalie and Madison. Mom also treasured her close bond and enduring friendship with her sister-in-law Helen O’Brien.

Mom was proud of her accomplishments during her career as a long time employee of the City of Pickering. Second only to her love for her family was Mom’s love of travel.

She explored the world often with her best friend and travel companion, Valerie Jones.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to PSW Michelle Doward and Care Coordinator Samantha Kennedy for their care and kindness. Betty loved her family with all of her heart and we will find comfort in our treasured memories.

In lieu of flowers, Betty would have appreciated support for the Salvation Army or Canadian Cancer Society.

A Memorial Gathering will be held at McEachnie Funeral Home, 28 Old Kingston Road, Pickering Village. Family and friends are welcome to gather on Thursday, November 23, 2023 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and 6:00-8:00 p.m. A private burial will take place.
