Cora (1956) and Stephen

(1931) and Phyllis (2003) and her brother Ewart (2005). Betty
led an exciting life filled with family and Friends. She lived
many places in the world with her husband Mac when he was transferred
often as a petroleum engineer with Shell Canada, always making
a home for her family in each new place. She was a Life Member
of the Girl Guides of Canada having filled roles as troop leader
in many communities and on provincial executives. She sang with
the Sweet Adeline choruses in Edmonton, Calgary and Nanaimo.
She was committed to many charity organizations over the years.
She and her second husband, Ian, became Snowbirds living in Sun
City, Arizona and loving golf, the climate and their many Friends
as only retirees can do. Betty was currently living in Calgary
and had made many wonderful Friends in her new home. Betty always
had time for her family and Friends. Throughout her life, she
loved well and was, in turn, well-loved by everyone who knew
her. Betty had a quick sense of humour, which so many of us will
remember and cherish. A Celebration of Betty's life will be held
at First Memorial Funeral Services, 240-17th Avenue S.W., Calgary,
Alberta on Friday, February 15th, 2008 at 11: 00 a.m. A small
tea will be held afterwards. The Family would like to thank Doctor Jamieson
of the Foothills Hospital and all the wonderful nursing and administrative
staff in Unit 72. In addition, we thank everyone at the Sarcee
Hospice. With their care, love and support of not only our Mother
but also all of our Family, they helped us through this difficult
time with grace, dignity and understanding. If Friends so desire,
