Bette is predeceased by her parents, Les and Geraldine McDonald; and brother Gerry. She is survived by her husband of 60 years Hugh, son Patrick, daughter Lesley and brother Bob.

She and Hugh spent many winters in Cuba where they made lasting friendships. Many summers were enjoyed at the cabin with her grandchildren where they would canoe, play games on the veranda and feed the chipmunks together.
