We were honoured to know Betty as a dear friend for over thirty five years. Grayce and I “struck gold” when we became neighbours to Betty and Gene.
Within minutes of first meeting Betty, she made us feel completely accepted, and thus began a marvelous friendship.
Among her many talents, Betty was a gourmet cook, and delighted in helping Grayce learn to cook excellent, authentic German recipes, still enjoyed today. One of our favourite, a Black Forest cake made from scratch. Betty prepared two Black Forest cakes for our wedding. They were the hit of the party and the "Icing on the cake" to a memorable day.
Invited to backyard parties, family gatherings, and sharing long walks together are a few of the wonderful memories with Betty.
We were welcomed as part of Betty's extended family. On two occasions, home construction delays, found us “homeless” for a brief period of time. Betty with her unlimited generosity, saved the day, and invited us to stay in her home, and treated us as royalty.
Betty was a most extraordinary, supportive friend. Grayce and I are better for having known Betty.
To Jeff, Dieter, Mark, and family - we are holding you close in our hearts.
Grayce and Gerry Minor
