Betty worked as a sales clerk at Hudson Bay Company for many years.

In Betty’s later years, she moved to Sexsmith, AB to be close to her daughter Tess. Betty loved to golf as well as sit by a fire with a glass of red wine.

She will be sadly missed by her family: daughter Tess, son Bob, and many friends.
