    • Geri Helmer says:

      My heart is heavy this morning as the realization that you will not be coming down to # 307 ever again to have coffee with me sets in ….
      I will always cherish our chats that we shared over the 2 years we took turns babysitting Tye Malakai. Last year was so fun when the 3 of us….myself … Gram G, you …Nana & Fran …Grandma , took Tye over to Orchard Park. I am not sure who had more fun …. The Gram’s or Tye !
      I wore my winter boots …. that you insisted I purchase…. all winter & as I told you they are referred to as ” my Betty Boots”
      My sincere condolences to your family that cherish you so profoundly & I find comfort Willy & Tokyo Rose were waiting for you with open arms.
      Sending Love to your family & all that will miss your smiling face so much.

    We met Betty Lou when we moved to Kelowna from Edmonton in 2005. What a wonderful lady…
    May the memories of of your wonderful “mother, grandmother, great grandmother” surround all of you and give you all strength in the days ahead.

  • Alan & Carol Dolman says:

    Our sympathies are with all Betty’s family. She was a great lady and will be missed by all her friends at Park Place. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

  • Judy McAlister says:

    To my beautiful sister Betty Lou who was my best friend. Our times together was so much fun and will miss your humor because If I needed a good laugh I would call you, now you are entertaining them in heaven. I love you Sis until we meet again Love Baby Sis

    Life brings us many people
    Whom we have the joy to know
    But ones that are very special
    Are those whose acquaintance we have made
    “will miss that beautiful smile”

  • Addie Shunock says:

    So sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. I just met her when I moved to Kelowna 3 1/2 years ago. We enjoyed a few Christmas dinners together, and would chat when we ran into each other in the hallways or stairwells. She was kind enough to let me use her sewing machine on occasion. She was a very special lady, we will miss her dearly.

    She, I am sure, is now at peace and will watch over all those who she loved dearly.
    Will cherish the memories and remember her great smile.

  • Rio Dinu says:

    I am so grateful to have Betty-Lou as my Godmother. My Mother and her shared many memories together and I know that wherever they are they are smiling and at peace. Gordon and Danita my heart shares in your loss and remember its us now that can share their stories and our own each time we talk and remember them.
    Big hug and much love…

  • Sean says:

    Betty Lou will always be remembered in our hearts as Nana. Always with a smile and hug… Telling it like it is whether you liked it or not… She was a wonderful lady and we love her. Hope that you are all doing well. Sending all of our love from the otherside of the world… Big hugs.

  • Carol Clark says:

    My deepest condolences to family and friends. I knew Betty Lou many years ago in Kitimat and reconnected 5 years ago on Facebook. Always gracious with a gentle spirit. You will be missed, my friend. Go with God and Rest in Sweet Peace.

  • Jeannine says:

    My heart is broken hearing this news. Auntie Betty as I have forever called her. Auntie Betty and Gordon were such a big part of our lives growing up. My mum, Jeanne who passed last year, always talked so fondly of Betty and to this day my dad and I still tell so many Auntie Betty stories. Hope she have found her Ching a ling and is having a cup of tea with my mama! Thinking of you all!

  • Doreen Menu says:

    I will always remember Betty and Judy, who lived real close to us in Kitimat, and babysat us. Betty can catch up with my mom and dad now, and share some good stories. God’s comfort to the family. Betty, you will be missed!

  • Ruth (Stockman) Brady says:

    I was sorry to hear of Betty-Lou’s passing. It has been many years since I have seen her but have enjoyed following her facebook postings. We shared a hospital room when Danita and my first daughter were born.

  • Janine Rewers-Page says:

    My dear dear friend, I had no idea you were ill again and had so been looking foward to seeing you this summer. Gord and Danita, your mom was so loved by so many. We will all miss her so very much. We worked together at Alcan back in the late 60’s and BL was my matron of honour at my wedding in 1969. Go in Peace Betty Lou.

  • Shannon Irving Craig says:

    We were so sorry to hear about Aunt Betty. We just loved her and will miss her amazing and vibrant zest for life. Our deepest sympathies.

    The Irving girls!
