ELIZABETH BAINBRIDGE (BETTY) MORLAND Peacefully on Monday, November 15, 2004 Elizabeth (Betty) Morland passed away at the Fred Douglas Lodge at the age of 95 years. Betty was born March 29, 1909 at Cartwright, MB to parents John and Mary Jane Morland who had immigrated from England. The family moved to the Stonewall area where Betty attended school and later Normal School in Winnipeg. She began teaching school in 1935 and in 1949 joined the Winnipeg School Division where she taught primarily Kindergarten in George V and Weston Schools. Betty was predeceased by her parents, brothers John, Hayton and Harry. She is survived by nieces Louise (John) Henderson, Major, SK, Grace Weist, Consort, AB, Noella and nephews Bruce and Keith in Major, SK. Betty was a member of Althea Shrine No. 2, Order of the White Shrine of Jerusalem and served as Worthy High Priestess in 1964-65. She was also a member of Fort Garry Chapter No. 17, Order of the Eastern Star. Betty loved to cook and bake - her Christmas cakes were much sought after by her many friends. Her travels took her to many parts of Canada and the U.S.A. but an accident in 1970 curbed her activities. Cheerfully she carried on engaging in handicrafts. Heartfelt thanks to the loving care Betty received from the staff at Fred Douglas Lodge. Flowers are gratefully declined. However those who wish may send donations to Fred Douglas Lodge at 1275 Burrows Ave., Winnipeg, MB R2X 0B8. There will be visitation Thursday, November 18 at Thomson Funeral Home, from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held on Friday, November 19 at 1:00 p.m. also in the funeral home.
