In the early 1930’s Betty moved from Almonte, ON to Paris and worked in the "finishing room" in Penmans. Betty was a long time member of St Paul's United Church when in earlier years she enjoyed quilting and taught Sunday School. Betty attributed her long life to a close knit, loving relationship with her parents and siblings; her faith in God; fresh air; being a conscientious hard worker; the love of her family and drinking Green Tea. We will miss her radiant smile and her positive attitude. She was a very special lady who showed unconditional love and devotion to her whole family. She was truly an inspiration to all of us. Our precious memories will be treasured forever.
A very SPECIAL THANK YOU to Dr Williams and all the staff at Park Lane Terrace in Paris for the excellent care Betty received while she was a resident.
