With deep love and after a life well lived, the family of Elizabeth “Beth/Betty” Hnatowich, announces her peaceful passing on November 23, 2025.
Elizabeth Helen Jenner was born September 10, 1924 in Winnipeg and passed in Selkirk at the remarkable age of 101. She married the love of her life, Larry Hnatowich, on June 29, 1946 and together they celebrated 73 wedding anniversaries. She created a home full of warmth, nurture and love in all the numerous R.C.A.F. bases the family located to across western Canada and Europe. They spent their retirement years traveling to family, golfing, cooking and wintering in Texas. Untold numberers of casinos and bingo halls are about to see increased profits – Mom was an active and lucky participant.
Her greatest pride was her family. Mom is survived by her daughter Diane (Norm Milne) of Kamloops, their son Chris (Liana) of Kamloops; son Garry (Fran Walley), their sons, James (Rebecca) of Vancouver and Ian of Saskatoon; son James (Pam Fey) of Selkirk and their sons, Michael and Trevor (Desta); great-granddaughters, Lexi (Zach) and Carys and four great-grandsons, Tanner, Rhys, Kobe and Carver. She was predeceased by her parents, Harry and Elizabeth Jenner; sister Dorothy; husband Larry; and grandson Scott Milne. She will be lovingly remembered by her family, friends and all who knew her for her kindness, care and a century of acquired wisdom.
The family would like to express their profound gratitude to the staff and residents at Woodlands Court, Selkirk, for the care and comfort they extended to Mom during her residence. Also, to the fabulous nurses and staff at the Selkirk Regional Health Care Centre who lovingly attended Mom during her brief stay.
A private Celebration of Life is planned for a later date.
