Betty and her family lived on Maplehurst Farm near Copetown where they raised prize-winning Guernsey cattle. She was well known for her community and church involvement on various committees and boards. Betty attended Zion Hill United Church and later was a member of Jerseyville United Church. One of Betty’s joys was volunteering for the V.O.N., driving many to appointments and reading to those who were house bound. She delighted in holiday celebrations when the family gathered together and enjoyed playing cards at every opportunity.
The love and joy that Betty shared everywhere she went made this world a better place. Her absence will leave a big void in our hearts, but the memories of her loving kindness will leave a warmth in our spirits. Many thanks to PSW Debbie for her dedicated service and friendship over many years.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to Jerseyville United Church, the V.O.N., or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
