She was predeceased by her father Joseph and mother Evelyn Francis (nee Elliman) and by her step brother Howard Patterson. Betty lived most of her life in Winnipeg and spent her remaining years of happiness with her many friends in Pinawa, MB. She met her husband and soul mate while in their teen years, through a mutual friend and went on to a life of wedded bliss for 56 yrs. Betty retired from the Canada Safeway in 1993, where she had worked for thirty six years as a meat wrapper. She loved her job due to the many friends she made with fellow workers and many customers. She enjoyed boating, fishing, and her computer where she had stored many wonderful recipes. The family would like to thank Dr. deKlerk and all the staff of the Pinawa Hospital. Respecting Betty's wishes, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. Interment will take place at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens, 4000 Portage Ave. Winnipeg. A gathering of Betty's friends to celebrate her life will be held at a later date.
