Betty Wilson, an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan and 40-year volunteer at Queensway Health Centre, has passed on.
Betty, a long-time Alderwood resident, passed in her 93rd year after a brief illness, her family said.
She was a lover of life who was proud of her 40-year pin for volunteerism at what was previously the Queensway Hospital.
Betty and her sister spent many hours at Bingo and they both often won. She continued playing at West Park Healthcare Centre and shared her winnings with her new friends. Her hobbies included doing puzzles, knitting and crocheting.
She is predeceased by her husband Hugh, her sister Dorothy, and brothers Jim, George, John, Bob and Herbert. She will be greatly missed by her children Brian, Becky (Dan) and Gary (Joy), her grandchildren Brent (Catherine) Melissa (Dale), Brenna, Amy ( Landon) and Matthew, and her great-grandchildren Kyla, Shaelynn, Liam and Alyssa.
The family would like to thank the staff at West Park for all the wonderful care during her stay.
The most important part of her life was her family!
A private family gathering will take place, and a Celebration of Life will be scheduled for a future date. If desired, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or The Cancer Society in Betty’s memory would be appreciated by the family.
