CAMPBELL, Betty Jane (nee SUTHERLAND) - It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our loving, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother at the Chartwell Wenleigh Long Term Care, Orchard Heights, on February 16, 2019 in her 91st year.
Loving wife of Harry (68 years), daughters Carol Miller (David 2013), Catherine Johnstone and Connie Ford (John). Grandchildren Jennifer, Melanie, Jeffrey, Matthew, Stephanie, Kyle, Colleen, Cheryl and John (2005) and great-grandchildren Brady, Clara, Jolene, Harper, Ava, Nolan, Flynn, Charlie, Sienna and Ireland.
Survived by sisters Sylvia and Shirley of Brantford. Predeceased by her parents Thomas and Alma (Mitchener), sister Irene and brothers Wilfred and John. Betty had an eight-year struggle with Parkinson Lewy body dementia which she endured with great strength and determination.
Betty was born in Brantford July 7, 1928 and received elementary schooling there. In 1939, her father joined the Canadian Armed Forces and the family moved to Scotland, Ontario to be near her grandparents and her uncle.
In 1956, the family moved to Toronto and Betty became very involved at Rexdale United Church. Betty and the other church women prepared food for Meals on Wheels and prepared dinners for the church Men's Club.
She was active in the United Church Woman's group and received her U.C.W. Life Time Award.
We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Chartwell Wenleigh and in particular the staff in Orchard Heights who provided Betty with compassionate, loving care. They became a part of our family during the five years that Betty was a resident.
Special thanks to Dr. Ostro, Andrea Oates and Dr. Gacomelli who cared for Betty during her time as a resident.
Friends may call at the Turner & Porter "Neweduk-Erin Mills" Chapel, Mississauga, on Friday, March 1, 2019 from 1-4 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held at Erindale United Church (1444 Dundas Cres., Mississauga) on Saturday, March 2, 2019 at 11 a.m. A reception will follow in the Gardner Hall.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Parkinson Society of Canada.
