Long time beloved member of this community passed away peacefully October 12th, 2002 in the family home of her daughter, Kim Botting.

They both met and married within six weeks in Victoria, BC and soon settled in Tofino.

Her nieces June Sloman and Gail Hellesen. Her sister June and her daughters Kay Prosser and Jane Brown. Betty will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

God Bless you Betty. Rest in Peace.
