Betty was born in Connecticut and moved to Montreal after being swept off her feet by Nathan, a handsome soldier she met in the Laurentians. Betty and Nathan lived a beautiful life together and raised four daughters. She was creative, artistic, physically active, yoga practicing, volunteering, and independent until the end. Her technique of flower preservation gave her great joy and was her business for many years. She made new friends all along and was known for her thank you notes and handwritten notes for many occasions. We will continue to cherish, admire and love her unique spirit. Heartfelt gratitude to Cornelia, Helen, Senait, Sandrine, Penny, and Joy for their loving care.
