Passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Monday December 11, 2023 at the age of 97.

Wife of the late Gordon Robert Symes, married for 40 years.

Lovingly remembered by her children Kerry Symes and Kathy (nee Symes) Boyd-Foottit.

Loving Grandma to Luke Symes (Natasha), Ryan Symes (Tanya), Keri-Lynn Clark (Richard) & Lindsay Boyd (Rick). Great-Grandma to Abigail, Boyd, Callie, Cash, Lucas, Nicholas, Mason, Griffin & Olivia.

Lovingly remembered by her many nieces, nephews & especially her best friend, Edith Smith.

In her younger years, Betty worked at RCA Victor & volunteered at the Neil McNeil Infant home, Toronto until she met Gord, the true love of her life.

They were married within a year of their courtship where Betty thrived, easily adapting from city girl to a farmer’s wife, taking on her role of wife & mother with zeal & enthusiasm, Betty finding that country living suited her personality traits & character almost perfectly.

Betty especially enjoyed her 2 children, 4 grandchildren & blissfully in her later years 9 great grandchildren.

On a weekly basis, Betty looked forward to Wednesday’s tea party with her dear friends.

This warm & engaging fellowship opened the door to studying scripture verses from God’s Holy Bible, finding comfort & strength reading Psalm 91 & enjoyed watching 100 Huntley Street and Betty re-committed her life to be a Christian whereby this week Betty has heard the words “Well done good & faithful servant, child welcome home”.

A funeral service will be held at Low & Low Funeral Home, 23 Main Street South, and Uxbridge on Friday December 15, 2023 at 2:00pm. Private interment.

As an expressions of sympathy, memorial donations can be made to the charity of your choice or to the local Uxbridge Animal Shelter or Ontario SPCA would be appreciated by the family.
