She remained friends with the ‘girls’ over the years and they traveled together on many adventures including Hawaii, Las Vegas, and PEI.
In 1995 Betty and Lloyd moved to Penticton BC. Betty was passionate about her work at the OSNS child development center. Family came first for Betty, but she always had time for great friends. Betty was an avid tennis player and enjoyed time spent with Al, Judy, Tucker, Linda and Miles.
Betty is survived by her husband of 50 years Lloyd, her daughter Shelley (Masato) and grandkids June and Kai. Her son Bryan (Tamara) and grandkids Justin, Ethan, Cohen and Lincoln. Her son Sean (Daniel). She was survived by several siblings including Maretta, Allen, Nadine, Marla, and Cheryl.
