A beautiful service and lovely eulogies.
It is with sadness that we say goodbye to our dear sister-in-law, Betty. We will always remember you for your wonderful sense of humour and loving kind nature. Our thoughts are with your sons Adam, Jason, Mark and David and families.
To my beautiful Aunty Betty, thinking of you today as I sift through so many fond memories of you from my earliest years. I loved your playful sense of humour and and your genuine warmth, always a joy to be around! Wishing you love and peace in the next life, and I am eternally grateful for your sweet, joyful presence in this one.
Farewell to my darling sister Betty. You will always be in our hearts and fond memories ❤️
Your wonderful, cheeky sense of humour cheered us up on so many occasions. Your ability to see the positive side of life during tough times was inspirational.
We had so much fun as young mothers with your 4 boys and my 2 children. What a gang of villains they were. Adam, Jason, Mark and David, Monica and Chris
You brought joy to those around you Betty 🦋
Christopher, Monica and Melody send their love and condolences to all the family and friends. They each hold special memories of Aunty Betty.
Patrick enjoyed having a laugh and a glass of red wine with you while “solving world issues”.
I will miss you so much Betty 🌺❤️🌺
Love always, Diane xxxx
Where do I start in addressing the life and the memories of my sister, my wife’s sister-in-law, my children’s aunt and their children’s great-aunt? Betty was always genuinely loving with generous lashings of humour and stoicism. Against major obstacles Betty always proved to be more than up to the challenge and retained her cheeky, mischievous spirit. We will all miss her terribly, now and into the future and she will not be forgotten. Hearts full of sadness, love and tears from Rhienna, Blake, Dane, Lishaye, Serena and Russell
