Betty Joan Fanning

1-Aug-1933 – 8-Jan-2025

Peacefully at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, with family by her side, on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at the age of 91. Devoted and loving wife to the late Neil for 67 wonderful years.

Loving mother of Janice (David), Dan (Cherie), Kathleen (Steve), John (Crystal), and Patti. Lovingly remembered by her grandchildren, Shawn, Kevin, Rianna, Bryan (Lucy), Brendan (Lauren), Nicole (Mat), Richard (Brittany), Liam (Chantel), and Jessica (Travis). Fondly remembered by her nine great-grandchildren. She will be missed by her many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Dear sister to Bill (Irene) and Lynda, predeceased by her brother Ted (Linda). Daughter of the late Richard (Dick) and Jean Harding.

The home she and Neil created was always a warm, welcoming place where family would gather, sharing in the joy of each other’s company. It was a place filled with laughter, love, and fond memories. She had a deep passion for traveling and camping, which brought her great joy throughout her life.

As per her wishes, there will be a family celebration at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or the Sick Kids Foundation.

“One day we will remember how lucky we were to have known her love, with wonder, not grief.”

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at OSHAWA FUNERAL HOME.
