Betty died peacefully at Stanford Place in Parksville BC after a difficult battle with cardio-vascular dementia.

Betty was in child psychological work with Peel Board of Education in Mississauga, Ontario. Betty was passionate about many social issues. She was actively involved in the United Churches Dave served, in British Columbia and Ontario, particularly with senior girls and missionary concerns. In her leisure time she loved being with family and friends at “The Cottage,” reading, quilting, attending the symphony and traveling. Betty made strong and lasting friendships wherever she lived.

In 1996, Betty and Dave moved from Ontario to British Columbia, living in Kelowna until coming to Parksville two years ago.
