Passed peacefully away at the Health Sciences Centre on November 20, 2020, aged 84. Predeceased by her husband, Ralph; parents, Leah and William Johnson; and sister, Violet (Clarence) Crowley. Leaving to mourn with precious memories are her children, Lisa (Tom), Walter (Ruth), and Vera (John); grandsons Matthew and Ethan, step granddaughter, Hillary; brothers, Clayton Johnson, Raymond Johnson, and Rick (Karen) Johnson; sisters-in-law Emily Burry and Lillie (Tom) Lush; and brothers-in-law Wilson (Doris) Calloway and Peter (Inez) Calloway; as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, and other  relatives and friends. The family would like to thank the compassionate doctors, nurses, and staff of the HSC Neurology 4 South B. A special thank you, also, to Dr. Natalia Pittman for her care and expertise.

Betty lived a full life. With her early years devoted to her family and occasional teaching contracts, she took over Pinedale Farms at the age of 45 when her husband, Ralph, passed away. Although new to farming, she embraced the challenge and was successful with the venture. She served on the Terra Nova Municipal Council, numerous farm committees and boards, as well as other organizations, including the Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Commission. Betty always took great joy in hosting gatherings of friends and family, and will be remembered fondly by everyone who knew her.

A private service will take place at the Carnell Memorial Chapel, St. John’s, at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, November 27th, and will be live streamed. Burial to follow at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 28th, in Terra Nova at the Holy Trinity Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Betty’s memory to The Terra Nova Community Workers or to The Arthritis Society.

Sending my most heartfelt condolences to Vera, Walter and Lisa ( and the rest of the family) on the passing of their beautiful and kind hearted Mother. It is with sadness in my heart that I have to write these words to you all. Betty has always been one of the most kind and genuine and caring people I’ve ever known. She was always very curious and interested in knowing how and what I was doing, and that speaks to what a special person she was, and will remain to be in our hearts. Rest easy, Betty. You will be greatly missed down here, but The Heavens have just gotten a little brighter.

Vera, John and Ethan, we are so sorry for your loss. I will miss coming home and sitting down with Mrs Calloway and updating her on all my news from the past year. Always smiling so big when she saw me and loved hearing all about Dave and Victoria. She was a great teacher to us in our younger years, so many fun projects in school and Christmas concerts that will never be forgotten. I know she loved all of our antics as kids, she always laughed when we talked about them every year.
Sending much love to you all and our deepest sympathy.
