Mary Elizabeth Traver was born in Jerseyville on March 25th, 1925 – almost 100 years ago. Although we are sad to lose her, we are relieved that our gracious mother is finally at peace.
Betty moved to Dundas as a teenager. In 1943, she married Bob Donovan, who passed away in 2007. Together they raised their family at 11 York Street in Dundas: Donna Jean Wignall (John 2016), John Michael (2008), Ronald Patrick (Patricia 2024), and Roberta MaryEllen Ziegler (Dennis).
The family grew with the addition of 12 cherished grandchildren: John Wignall, Greg Wignall, Chris Wignall, Jane Dosman, Lauri Donovan, Carri Harrison, Joel Ward, Alethea Donovan, Nathan Donovan, Joelle Ross, Cindy Maracle, and Angela Kerr. Now, there are a “great” number of great grandchildren and, even, great great grandchildren.
Betty was an active member of St. Paul’s United Church for many years. She was a loyal friend to so many people. After about 60 years on York Street, Mom moved to Bertram Place and, eventually, to Wentworth Lodge. We are grateful to her many caregivers who assisted in her senior years.
Betty’s life will be remembered and honored at Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas ON with a visitation on Sunday, September 22nd, 2024 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm and 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

It is with great sadness that we share the loss of our dad, Mike Alkerton, in his 81st year. He peacefully left this world Monday, September 16 in the wonderful care of Margaret’s Place Hospice in Dundas after a long battle with COPD. Mike lived and died by his own terms, and he loved unconditionally.
Mike was true to his hometown Dundas where everyone knew him. Hockey was a big part of his life, he played with the Dundas Merchants and coached Dundas minor hockey and then played old timer hockey for many years. He loved playing golf with his buddies and they started the season every Good Friday, even in the snow!
Mike put his heart and soul into his club, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 36 Dundas, where he was a Life Member and on the Executive where he served 2 Presidential terms, and was Membership & Bursary Chairman for many years. Mike held a membership as Sergeant in the 11th field with the Hamilton Artillery Association.
Mike was a proud 50 year career member of the IBEW Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
He is survived by his loving wife Joan, his daughters Barb (Martin) & Lisa (Terry), granddaughter Becca (Richard), grandson Chris (Matt), brother Art (Jack), sister Brenda (Barry), and many extended family members and friends. Mike is predeceased by his brother Ken and sister Christine. We would like to thank so many people that supported Mike throughout the past 2 years with their kindness and compassion, and also his health care providers at St. Joseph’s Hospital Respirology team, Dr. Chan, his nurse Carly, the PSW’s, and the caring team at Margaret’s Place.
There will be a Celebration of Life held in honour of our dad at the Dundas Legion Branch 36 on Saturday, October 26, 1:00-5:00 p.m., beginning with a Legion Service at 1:00 p.m..
