WEBER – Betty Kathleen, born 21 June, 1925 in Birmingham, England, died 22 November. Lovingly remembered by children Gill Eston (Bruce), Jane Weber (Lee), Richard Weber (Fiona), and Elaine McGough (Grant), beloved grandsons Martin and Ian, and sister Dorothy (Den and son David), and all the dogs she ever met.
Predeceased by her husband Frank, whom she met while punting on the Avon River in England. As a war bride she immigrated to Edmonton, Alberta. In 1978 Frank and Betty retired to Qualicum Beach, where they developed a beautiful garden, attracting and enjoying the birds and other wildlife.
Betty was an intelligent, eloquent, beautiful woman. She was a loving mother, involved with and proud of her children. Although kind and courteous, she prided herself on having the “courage of her convictions.” She loved antiques, china, birds, animals, trees, Christmas and flowers (especially lavender), which reminded her of the Bluebell Woods she explored as a child. She read voraciously, and with her knowledge of English history could have lectured on the subject.
Mom is happy now, back with Frank and the generations of family dogs who await her at the Rainbow Bridge.
Many thanks to the staff at Beacon Hill Villa for their kind care of Mom over the last five years. A celebration of Mom’s life will be held when the family can all be present. Flowers are declined with thanks; donations may be made instead to Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. Love you, Mom, from all the family.
