Betty had the best smile and a great sense of humour. She could be quite silly at times (which was wonderful), and she was pretty good at rollerblading when I knew her (even though she was in her forties then). I am sorry to hear of her passing. She really was a fun-loving person who had funny stories about her nursing duties. Happy-go-lucky is the way I will remember her.

Being Betty's niece, I am so thankful for the wonderful notes posted. She is truly missed by her family and our hearts still ache for just one more moment with her. My Aunt was more like an older sister to me and I was very fortunate to end our last conversation with "I love you". Since her passing, we have heard so many experiences where Betty sincerely touched many lives, especially when families were losing a loved one. Her heart and soul were seen through her ability and willingness to take the time to help others with loss and healing through her grace and kindness. She is at peace now, free of pain and with all of our loved ones waiting for the day we all come home. Thank you for your condolences and may God bless all who knew and loved her.

Eric and I were saddened to hear of Betty's tragic passing. We remember Betty from the 'old days' of camping at Lazy Acres when she was still enrolled in her psych nursing program which she excelled in. If we didn't understand then that nursing was her passion, we were able to experience it first hand as she cared for my mother during her final days. My family came to have deep respect for her abilities as a nurse and her compassion as a human being. No doubt, her passing has left a trail of broken hearts. No doubt, she also fills those same hearts with some wonderful memories.

I am so sorry and saddened too hear of your loss. Betty was a wonderful nurse and was so kind to my family and myself in our difficult time, she was a kind and gentle lady and always had a smile on her face, she will be very deeply missed! God Bless You All! Tammy King

Hello Ashley and Devin We met your mom thru Dan. Dan and Wade have been friends since high school. We really only ever saw each other when camping at "the acreage". Your Mom was quite funny. Of course we all heard some of the FANTASTIC medical stories. The last story that sticks in my mind was about your cousins wedding last year. She relayed the event to me and we discussed how fortunate and unfortunate same sex couples are. Of course we had giggles ( mostly about house guests and such). Betty was gem who we always looked forward to seeing. She will be thought of and missed. She left this life too soon. We extend our sympathies to you and your family. Sincerely Wade & Caron Stromquist
