Betty was happiest holding onto one of her babies, large and small. She loved her family above everything and spending time at the cottage with them was a common occurrence. Her best memories were made there playing board games, cards and watching everyone play. She was always up for a boat ride or a tune by Lloyd and the kids, when she would get up to dance or tap her toes to the beat.
Betty never missed a joke and lit up every room with her smile. She always matched names to faces and offered a personal greeting in their next meeting. Her creativity resulted in many crafts; paper tole, ceramics, knitting and she gave her many masterpieces away. She enjoyed travelling and spending winters in Florida with Lloyd and their friends.
While she will be missed terribly by many, no one will miss her more than her beloved Lloydy. As long as she could see him, hold his hand, dance with him, she was happiest of all. Betty will find the best place in Heaven and be ready for the day she can hold hands and dance with her Lloydy again. May she be at peace knowing she is deeply loved and missed.
Visitation will take place on Tuesday, January 31, 2023 from 2-4 & 7-9 PM at the Alma Community Centre (51 Simpson St. E., Alma). A Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, February 1, 2023 at 1 PM at the Alma Community Centre, with 1 hour of visitation to be held prior, from 12-1 PM.
