Very special thanks to Mom’s devoted PSW caregivers and Anchor Pointe Retirement Residence management, staff and friends who all went above and beyond to provide exceptional care, plus her Bingo buddies at the Port Dalhousie Senior Centre. Betty enjoyed playing Bingo, knitting, music, dancing and helping at the Lions Club carnival.
Per Mom’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Regretfully, because it isn’t normal times, there will not be a memorial gathering. She will be laid to rest with her parents and grandparents.
For those desiring, donations may be mailed to the Port Dalhousie Lions Club at 201 Main Street, St. Catharines, ON L2N 4V9 and would be gratefully appreciated.
