We Remember

BENNETT, Betty Loraine

January 1, 1970 — January 1, 1970

Passed away peacefully at her home on October 18, 2017 at the age of 89.  Betty is survived by her loving husband Ken H. Bennett; three daughters, Anne (Don) Doolittle, Terry (Harry) Lent and Maureen (Ted) Angen; five of her six sons, Pat (Laurel) Bennett, Jim Bennett ( Emiko Sato), Mike Bennett (Christine Cameron), Jack Bennett (Liz Olsen) and Mark (Sandy) Bennett; 21 grandchildren and over 30 great grandchildren; brother Bill Prentice and his wife Betty; brother-in-law George Couldwell; cousin Nancy Watson (nee Adam); as well as a number of more distant cousins. She was predeceased by her son Ken Bennett (Jr.) and her sister Jane Couldwell (nee Prentice).

Betty was a loving wife, mother, grand and great-grandmother. All who knew her could not help but admire her quiet, patient, welcoming spirit. She had a great love of nature and of movement. She danced, swam, cycled, golfed, skated and skied for much of her life. Her daily walks with Ken, in all seasons, carried on into her final year of life.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, October 27, 2017 at 10:30 am at St. Edwards Catholic Church, 11123 Okanagan Centre Road East, Lake Country.  A Celebration of Betty’s Life and Reception will follow in the Church Hall.

The family wishes to offer special thanks to the Interior Health Home Care workers of Lake Country, the Healthy at Home staff, and to the nurses of the Central Okanagan Palliative Home Care Program, all of whom helped to make Betty’s last months at home comfortable.

    Dear Bennett clan:
    I always remember the loving gatherings of the Catholic mafia out in Windermere. The Bennett’s the Bach’s and the Rocque’s were like one big family guided by the three Betty’s. Forever grateful for the loving friendship and a life time of memories.

    I am sorry to hear of your loss. I remember our time in Edmonton, and her girls were the best baby sitters I have ever had. Thinking of you all.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
