Survived by her sisters: Muriel (Jack, predeceased) of Malton, Julianne (Tom, predeceased) of London and Irene “Rickey” (Greg) of Wasaga Beach. Predeceased by her brother, Jim (Joanne) of Fort Erie. Bette will be missed by her sister-in-laws, Laura of Florida and Millie of Georgetown as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Bette was born in Toronto and well known for her unconditional love for her family, cooking and travel. Her lifetime as a Public Relations person gave her many rewards. She arranged one of Queen Elizabeth’s trip to Canada and met Prince Phillip. Bette traveled the world for her job and loved it. She was the happiest when she was in the kitchen, especially when the grandchildren were helping.
Many thanks go out to the caring staff at Mill Creek Care Center from whom she received amazing care.
