ELIZABETH
(BETTY) SURTEES
(nee Griffiths)
Peacefully on Sunday, June 2, 2013
our sweet mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt, passed away at 89
years young with her family by her side.
Left to cherish Betty’s memory are
her son James Surtees (Lynn); daughters Jo-Anne Palmer (Ray), Carole Corbett
(Ian) and Liz Welligan (Grant); grandchildren Michael, Adrienne (Phil), Jamie
(Stephanie), Greg, Stephen, Neil (Diana) and Jeffrey and 8 great-grandchildren
who she loved dearly. She was predeceased by her infant son David; husband
Bert; and brother Jim Griffiths.
Mom had a great outlook on life
despite her blindness and dementia in later years. She was always gracious and
appreciative. She spent a lifetime of
giving to others. Mom
served in the Canadian Women’s Army Corps during WW2. Mom enjoyed her many friends, volunteer work
with Nearly New, sewing for her daughters, needle work, reading, bridge club,
golf, curling, bowling and archery. She
loved her travels throughout the United States, Mexico and Europe. Our Mother was selfless, always thinking of
the needs of others before her own, even in her last hours. Her home was filled with love and beautiful surroundings. She loved her new home at West Park Manor and
we are so thankful for the loving care she received there.
A Private Interment will be held in
Fort Frances, ON.
Should friends so desire,
contributions can be made to West Park Manor or a charity of choice.
