My sincere sympathy in the passing of Betty. I was the Head nurse on 4th South at the old General years ago when Betty was a Ward Attendent. What a pleasure to have her on staff with always a smile and chuckle coupled with her delightful Scottish dialect. In later years and I moved on to Administration I would continue to hear her pleasant voice over the intercom from Switchboard. She was a wonderful person.

Can't believe that our Aunty Betty has gone and although she will be deeply missed we have so many fabulous memories of her. No one could tell a funny story quite like her. I'll never forget the aunty who forgot her teeth and combed her hair with a slipper. Wish we could be with you Uncle Tommy, Christine, Rose & Sandra but you are all in our thoughts. Rest in Peace x

I am sorry I will not be there to celebrate Betty's life with you. I will always remember the card games and the Bingo games and the camping and the many K of C events that our families shared together. One of my last favorite memories of Betty was at a K of C event at your home when Betty was walking around checking everyone's glass trying to find her teeth. She was a lot of fun! Know that you are in my thoughts.
