Betty Angela Wyard-Scott

October 22, 1931 – November 13, 2024

Died peacefully on November 13, 2024, at Hillsdale Estates, Oshawa, at the age of 93. Born to parents Mike and Nellie Schwartz on October 22, 1931, Betty resided in the Oshawa area for most of her life. With six siblings (Annie, Al [Elsie], Sonny, Bob, Ed, Jeannie), she had many adventures in her early years.

In 1950, Betty married Keith Wyard-Scott and they eventually welcomed daughters Tricia and Marie. Betty's adventures continued, often with family, in the form of travel and sports (camping, hiking, skiing, curling, badminton, etc).

Over her lifetime she saw all 10 Canadian Provinces, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Austria, Germany, England, Cuba, and the USA (including both Alaska and Hawaii).

After 52 years of working in retail and bookkeeping, Betty retired and became highly involved in Oshawa Senior Citizens. She made many friends in exercise and craft classes.

A generous person, Betty believed in helping where she could. Whether babysitting, inviting a family member to live with her, volunteering with Adult Day Care, or listening closely to someone who needed to talk, she willingly shared her time, always doing it with a smile.

Betty is survived by her brothers: Bob (Sook Hee) and Ed (Kelly); daughters: Tricia and Marie; grandsons: Michael, Matthew (Dione), and Ryan; great-grandchildren: Teagan, Holly, Avery, Keith, and Amber; and many nieces and nephews.

Betty will be greatly missed.
