Catherine DOMINEY Obituary
(nee MacDougall)
On September 21, 2015, Betty Dominey passed away, after bearing years of ill health with grace and good humour. She was born on November 28, 1933, to Christie and Dougall MacDougall of Inverness, Cape Breton.
At age 18, Betty moved to Halifax, where she met her true love, Ernest Stanley Dominey. But Ernie's career with Imperial Oil Marine Department meant much time apart, so after marrying on August 26, 1955, Ernie and Betty drove out west. Both found work in Edmonton and decided to stay.
Betty was an extraordinarily loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, and genuinely nice to everyone she met. She was a proud Cape Bretoner, and always waved to people with Nova Scotia plates. Those who knew her will never forget her kindness, warmth, and sunny disposition.
Betty leaves to mourn her devoted husband of 60 years Ernie; children Erna (Jack), Andrea (Gary), and Jeannie (Mark); grandchildren Stella Maris (Kevin), Clayton, Markus, and Elizabeth, as well as her cherished relatives and friends in Nova Scotia.
A Prayer Service will be held at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, October 2, 2015 at Resurrection Parish, 10555-50 A Street NW, Edmonton, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 3, 2015.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the CapitalCare CHOICE Mental Health Programme.

I wanted to say how much this wonderful "Woman" meant to me. She was a second mom to me groing up in the 70's and 80's. We had some really fun times and sad times too. We were a family. I loved being part of it. I thank God for blessings in my life and she will always be close to my heart. Fly high on eagles wings my sweet Woman! Sleep tight and Angels watch over you. With love always Meche xo

To the Dominey Family:
Sorry for your loss. Betty and I worked together for a couple of years at Austin O'Brien High School. She was a wonderful lady and a good friend at that time. She will always be remembered in my heart.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all. We will miss our visits with aunt Betty when she would come to Nova Scotia. She was a very loving aunt with a kind word for everyone. ox

I have such great childhood memories growing up and spending many days and nights at the Dominey's house. Mrs. Dominey was such a great Mom, so much fun and made all the friends feel so welcome! Betty was a great cook and baker and I loved her freshly baked scones! My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very difficult time!
