Betty loved gardening; often finding her pulling weeds and tending to her flowers. She loved having a cup of tea while she did the morning crossword puzzle in the paper. She loved to read suspense and murder mysteries. Her favorite show was Judge Judy. She always kept a stash of chocolate or ice cream in the freezer. Betty loved watching the birds, especially cardinals. Also loved butterflies and hummingbirds. She always made sure you were fed and loved. It was an honor to have Betty a part of our lives for so long. This isn't goodbye, just see you later. Her light will be missed, but never forgotten. Interment will be in Calders Head Cemetery, Deer Island NB, Canada, at a later date.
