- Betty passed peacefully at Hilltop Manor in Cambridge, with family by her side, at the age of 98.
Beloved wife of 60 years to the late Gordon, and loving mother of Lynn and the late Donald.
Cherished Nana of Timothy (Elana), Jonathan (Erin), and Sarah (Neil). Treasured Great Nana of Jackson, Elizabeth, Aaron, Carys and Quentin. Betty will be lovingly remembered by her sisters Marguerite and Catherine, and her many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her sisters Marjorie and Rive, and brother Bob.
A small service will be held this summer at the place Betty loved and that held a special place in her heart right to the end, Camp Koinonia.
In lieu of flowers and in keeping with Betty's wishes, a memorial fund has been established with Camp Koinonia. Betty was active in changing many lives through Camp Koinonia, including those of her own family. She made it known that her wish was for funds to be raised to further the camp's mission which was so near and dear to her heart.

The word of God is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart. Deut.30:14

Good bye Aunt Betty
I was introduced to you as Aunt Betty in my first year and you have been a strong supporter and encouragement throughout my whole life.
We knew you through Mom and Kay, church, 18 Martingrove Road, camp, cottage and Drag Lake Haliburton Lodge and our island on Spruce Lake. More recently we connected with you at the nursing home.
It is friends like you who have forged identity and strength into my character and to say you will be missed is a gross understatement. But Liz and I look look forward to that great reunion that awaits us. Thank You Jesus..
Rob

Betty will always be included in our thanksgivings. - such a saint! Such a steady, inspiring faith. A true ministry of encouragement. Her walk matched her talk. She lived out her love for her Saviour so beautifully.
Forever grateful. We miss her already, but only for awhile. We long for the day when there will be no more reason to say goodbye.
