Growing up in the Charleswood area in Winnipeg, she enjoyed dance. She graduated from a technical college in Winnipeg after high school and worked as a comptometer operator. She met the love of her life, Jack, and got married, became a homemaker and a mother. Together with Jack, she farmed in Headingley with a grain operation. She gave birth to Jack and then three years later to Michael. Michael and Deneen all together had Mathew, Justin, Jenna and Dylan. Since their yard was close, many great times were shared on the farm and son Jack visited frequently. Betty enjoyed time with family, fishing, the cottage life at Lee River, trips to Arizona, Texas, and California. Betty enjoyed cooking, dancing, playing cards and camping in their RV. She was a great cook and always had a pot of soup simmering on the stove to host visitors. Betty and her husband Jack visited Brandon many times over the years. After Jack's passing, Betty later moved to Courts of St. James and then later Rotary Villas in Brandon, MB. She loved visiting her son Jack and MaryAnn and family in the summer and during holidays enjoying special times together.

There are so many stories I could tell about Betty and me. Everyone always wondered how we could talk on the phone for hours on end. Taking little getaways in nice hotels in Winnipeg or Portage (when Betty was in Headingly and I was in Portage) Then we both ended up living in Winnipeg. We had many, many many fun and wonderful great times and so many fun and memories were had. I will always cherish those forever. For the past few years, I had been trying to get ahold of her. Even by trying to look Jack up on the internet, and other means. We kept in touch until she moved to Brandon then for some time after that with our famous marathon phone calls. But after one of our last calls, I was unable to get ahold of her and searched every way I knew of. I do wish she'd of told me where she was, I would have loved to visit and take her out to a hotel on one of our "mini holidays". She spoke to my mother but the numbers were never passed on. Her passing comes as a great surprise, as Betty was a very strong and stubborn woman who wouldn't let anything get her down. I thought she'd Be around forever. If it was not for COVID we'd of had a chance to re unite one last time (or more). I will miss her dearly and send all my love. All my love to the Braun Family, Thank you Jack/Micheal for always being there for her, Michael too when he was able. I know she loved you both so much including the children. One thing she always spoke of in our lengthy conversations. Jack if you see this could you email me at rgbpharma@gmail.com. I just have a few questions, (many pictures of her on our mini trips and others you might like) If that is OK with you. I hope you are well as can be. For some reason, on one of my searches for her, I came across this. So, I just found this today despite monthly or every few months of searching for a way to contact her again. As my number was a VOIP and or pay as you go cell and often changed). Then when I got my permanent internet and numbers the search began once again a few years ago. Then one day after she called my mother ramped up calling every number I had and internet searches). So it is very much a surprise. I hope you are all doing the best you are able in these times. My condolences to all. Betty was truly loved as my best friend adjust like she was like family. Always welcome in my home and I hers. Sorry for your loss to everyone, and once again my most heartfelt condolences. Beautiful picture. I have literally 100's. if any family or friends would like some I can upload them, they are of her us places we went and at our happiest. She will forever be missed With much love, Robb BEll rgbpharma@gmail.com - Posted by: Robb BEll (Friend for many many years) on: May 23, 2022

So sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She was always so very nice to me and I enjoyed her cooking very much, as I spent lots of time on the farm with the Brauns. I know she is now at peace sitting at the kitchen table having coffee with Jack and Mike. - Posted by: Darren Glowatski (Friend) on: Feb 13, 2021
