To Sandra, Jennifer, Stephanie and Christopher. My deepest condolences to all of you on the passing of your beautiful Mother and Nan. She will be missed by so many.
A fond memory I will always cherish was the year Jennifer and I took our Nans to the CLB Armoury Christmas concert. (It was the first time they had met) Betty was so warm and welcoming towards my Nan (Mary Fowlow). They shared many stories and laughs that day. 💜 Hold onto the beautiful memories of her. They will help get you through the days ahead. Thinking of you all.

So happy we got to see Betty this past summer. We had so many things to talk about and so little time to do it.
During my years at Memorial ,Betty was a second Mom to me. I always felt like I was a part of your family. She was always there when I needed encouragement or just someone to talk to. I will be forever grateful.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
I will always cherish the memories of a very special lady
Sandra, David, Janet, Peter & Families,
So sad to hear of Aunt Betty’s passing. She was a wonderful and funny Aunt who always had a smile for everyone.
There will be a great game of 120s when the Bugden clan get together over yonder.
We are so glad that we got to spend some time with her last month celebrating her 95th Birthday.
It was so nice to see all the pictures of happy times over the years. Hold on to those happy memories. RIP Aunt Betty.
Love
Bill & Carolynn

The Johnston family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Betty will always have a special place in my heart. She was my home away from home for many years. She was a great friend to my mom and loved by the Sinyard family. She was so enthusiastic and cheerful. She always made me laugh. I will smile whenever I think of her.
Love Lisa Johnson (Sinyard) and family
