Passing peacefully at her home in Barrie, Ontario at the age of 98 on September 18, 2025. Beatrice (“Betty”) Jarvis will be deeply missed by devoted family and dear friends.
She is survived by her son Dennis (Lynne) and daughter Christine (Ron), and predeceased by her daughter Sharon. “Gramma J.” to Dawn, Ken and Dianne; Hellaina (Jarren) and Jason (Jennifer); and Jenna (Alex) and Jeremiah (Amanda). She was also great-grandmother to 14!
Born in Toronto in 1927, Beatrice’s life was defined by music, with wonderful memories of her time with the Sweet Adelines in Scarborough, competing nationally and internationally. She was a keen member of community glee clubs that would share their voices with those living in retirement residences. She is an alumna of George Brown College and proud retiree of the City of Toronto. Betty maintained meaningful friendships along the way.
A private Celebration of Life will be planned.
Donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Terry Fox Foundation are appreciated.
