Beryl Botham Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Aug. 10 to Sep. 11, 2021.
Beryl Ann Botham (nee Huble) 1943-2021 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Beryl Ann Botham (nee Huble) on the morning of August 4, 2021. Beryl passed peacefully in her sleep with her loving family and friends close by. Beryl leaves behind the love of her life, John Botham, and beloved sons Steven and Kevin Botham. She is also survived by her daughters-in-law Melanie Short and Bobbi Borys, as well as her four loving granddaughters: Sydney, Emily, Lauren, and Kaitlin and cousins Myles Huble, Violet Huble and Barry Henry (Bev). Beryl was born to Albert and Ann Huble on September 25, 1943, in Surrey, England. She moved to Canada at a young age where she would later pursue a career in teaching. Beryl's impact was felt by many in her 30+ years of teaching during which time she taught in Summit Lake, Smithers, Vanderhoof, Connaught (Ron Brent) Elementary, Harwin Elementary, and Heritage Elementary. Later in her career, she uncovered a passion for teaching ESL and would go on to become the district representative in that field. Those who knew her recognize Beryl's generosity and kindness. She was an active member of her community and donated her time to the Council of Seniors and the Huble Homestead Board of Directors. At the end of the day, there was nothing Beryl loved more than her family. She enjoyed many summers with them at Summit and Carp Lake. She also had a passion for sewing, quilting, knitting, and crocheting. She could often be found cooking for her family or engaging in a spirited game of cards. The Botham family wishes to extend their thanks to the wonderful staff at the Prince George Rotary Hospice House and Dr. Mader and her team for their kindness and caring during a very difficult time. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to the Huble Homestead or Prince George Rotary Hospice House in her honour. There will be a Celebration of Life at a later date. Condolences may be offered at www.AssmansFuneralChapel.com

So sorry to hear of Beryl's passing. I will always remember those first years of her teaching, moose meat sandwiches for her students and those wonderful sunny summers at the Lake, long weekend trips and the summer at UBC when we stayed at my parents home in North Vancouver. My condolences to John and family.

Beryl was a memorable person and added much to Charella Gaedens along with June Hallet. She was a wonderful Esl teacher who thought hard about how she taught and what her students needed. Although I have been away fromPG for 16 years, I will always remember this wonderful person. Good thoughts for John, Steven, and Kevin.

Beryl and my mother, Lois Rush, were great friends when they worked at Heritage Elementary. I will always remember her. We both remember John from teaching PE at PGSS. Those were the days ....

Beryl was such a strong advocate for her students and a decisive influence in the growth of an ESL programme that would meet the needs of a varied group of learners. I shall always remember her laugh - you could not help but laugh with her. My deepest sympathy to John, Kevin and Steven.

Sorry to hear of Beryl’s passing. I’ve many fond memories of our school days together. Although I moved from PG many years ago I always enjoyed catching up at the reunions. It always felt like we’d never missed a beat. My
sincere sympathy, John to you and your family.
