Betty Brooks (nee Metcalfe) peacefully passed away on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, just a few months shy of her 99th birthday.

Beloved wife of the late Fay Brooks (2013). Loving mother of Dave (Jackie), Peter (Bonnie), Nancy Hartwig (Dennis), Diane McCloskey (Michael), and Jim (Joan). Cherished grandmother of eight and great-grandmother of ten. Predeceased by her brother, Bill Metcalfe.

Betty was a devoted animal lover who cared deeply for all creatures, big and small. She found great joy in knitting, sewing, and playing bridge with her friends. A dedicated volunteer, she gave countless hours to helping others and proudly served on the Bowmanville Hospital Board.

The family extends special thanks to the staff of The Court at Pringle Creek, her wonderful PSWs, the paramedics, and the staff at Lakeridge Health Oshawa for their care and compassion.

Cremation will take place, and Betty and Fay will be interred together at Thornton Cemetery at a later date.

In memory of Betty’s love of animals, donations may be made to an animal charity of your choice.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Armstrong Funeral Home.
