Thanks for all your love and support. Betty was born in Hamilton, ON. and was raised on a tobacco farm in the Delhi area where she met and married her husband Charlie. She was no stranger to hard work and excelled at anything she attempted. An accomplished homemaker, she was a talented chef, seamstress, gardener, decorator and bookkeeper for her husband's business. Without ever having had a lesson, she became an accomplished piano player and enjoyed her time with the church choir at St. Anthony’s Hungarian Church. There was nothing she would not do for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They were closest to her heart. We will all miss her tremendously. Special thanks to the staff at the Royal Marquis retirement home in Windsor for going above and beyond to help our Mother feel welcomed and comfortable during the last few months. Your kindness has not gone unnoticed. Again thank you to the wonderful Health Care "Angels" of HDGH Palliative Care Unit. You gave so Much comfort to Betty and her family during this difficult time.
