She is survived by her children Judy (Robert) Illick, Linda Foster and Bruce (Donalda) Garbutt; grandchildren Gary, Angie, Jill, Julie and Johnny; great-grandchildren Megan, Donovan, Oliver, Katrina, Douglass, Dawson and Paxton. Betty is also survived by her sister Annette (Helen) and sisters-in-law Phyllis Smith, Mildred Davies, Arletta Wright, Dee Garbutt and Pat Bucar as well as many nieces and nephews. Betty was also blessed by many friends who were very special to her. Betty was predeceased by her husband Donald in 1989, her parents Mary and Ivan Bucar; brothers Stan, Frank and John Bucar; sisters Mary Lang and Annie Ondrik. Bettys kind, gentle and loving memories will remain with us forever. Our sincere appreciation for the loving and compassionate care that was provided by the staff in Unit 2200 of McKenzie Towne Care Centre.

Judy, Linda, Bruce and Family; Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Aunt Betty or as Dad fondly referred to her as Betka will always be in our hearts. Her warm and fun personality made family gatherings even more fun (ie:tablecloth Judy) Uncle Don I'm sure was eagerly awaiting her as well as all the rest. Wow they are probably having a family reunion up yonder. Always remember "to be loved is to live forever in someones heart" May God Bless. Heather,Rick,Tyler, Doug &Ken
