ELIZABETH (BETTY) CRAWFORD
March 9, 1919 – May 24, 2014
Peacefully, at the
Victoria Hospital, with family present, Betty passed into what she called her
final deep sleep and into the arms of her loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Left to remember Betty’s
happy smile and upbeat personality are sons Laird (Erma) and Frank (Christian);
along with those special people who knew her variously as their adopted “Mom,”
“Grandma” or just Betty – friends who remained from first meeting her. She was
predeceased by husband David in 2003.
Betty and David’s
early years in Pine Falls were interrupted by Dave’s service during WW II, but
continued on with steady work for him at “The Mill,” until retirement allowed
them to spend winters in Arizona for 11 years. Becoming snow-birds was the
result of their first winter of retirement being spent at Bird Lake in their
cabin, with no running water and an outhouse up the hill. Talk about a wake-up
call! Their home in Pine Falls was replaced by another one in Broadlands, and
from there they moved to Winnipeg where they re-located several times to
apartments.
Betty’s Funeral
Service and Interment will be at a later date in Calgary, AB., and she will be
buried along with her husband Dave.
We’d like to thank
the Doctors and staff at the Vic for their caring attention to our Mother in
her time of need.
Flowers are
gratefully declined, but for anyone wishing to remember Betty, she was a
Victoria Hospital Foundation donor and liked the Siloam Mission.

A Favourite of Mom’s:
Remember me when you
are walking down a quiet country road or, when you are with Family and old
stories are re-told. My life was long and happy, so don’t grieve for me today.
Just think of me with fondness now and then,
in your own way.
