Betty graduated from Lawrencetown High School in 1942 and went to Normal College in Truro to pursue a teaching career. Mom taught for a short time in Forest Glade, Prince Albert and Mosher’s Corner. It was while boarding in Mosher’s Corner that she met and married our father, Joe. Mom was a fantastic cook, enjoyed her daily crossword puzzle and instilled the love of reading in each of us.

She is survived by daughters, Mary Wagner (Donald), Lower Sackville; Anne-Marie Underhill (Richard), Brickton; Linda Bent (Vincent Marshall), Bridgetown North; sons, David (Cheryl Putman), South Williamston; Gordon (Sharon), Mount Hanley; Richard (Susan) Mount Hanley; Alan (Michele), North Kingston; Ronald (Theresa), Nictaux; Glendon (Elaine), Paradise; Neil (Judy), Lawrencetown; Roger, Prince Albert; Andrew (Kathy Robar), Meadowvale. Betty is also survived by numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We would like to take this time to thank the staff at Grace Haven for their kind attentive care and also the nursing staff at SMH who made our last hours with Mom so much easier to bear. In keeping with Betty’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Visitation will be 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, July 13th in Middleton Funeral Home where a memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, July 14th with Licentiate Elaine Bent officiating. A reception for family and friends will follow the service. Private family interment will be in Pine Grove Cemetery, Middleton.2
