It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend Betty Lou Johnson, after a lengthy illness.
Betty was born February 24, 1937 in London, Ontario. Betty enjoyed hairdressing and sewing in her younger years. She also loved her family and countless pets over the years no matter where life moved her to. Betty was proud to belong to the ‘Red Hat Society’ and joining her husband Larry at Metis functions to pass the time. In her later years, Betty enjoyed chatting on the phone to friends and relatives on a regular basis. She especially was fond of the daily breakfast and lunch meetings with her close friends at the local diners in Teulon where she lived.
Betty was predeceased by her husband Larry, sister Barbara Graham, brothers Jim and Doug Parker, son Richard ‘Rick’ Lewis and granddaughter Dena Kannegiesser. She is survived by her mother Eileen, sister Beverly (Gary), brothers John and David. Sons Ken (Charlene), Don (Tracy), daughter Gwen (Peter), grandchildren Sherry (Chris), Kevin (Beryl), Torr, Sarah (Pedro), Sydney, Donald (Melissa) and Richard as well as several great-grandchildren.
Thank you to everyone who enriched her life and ours. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, May 12, 2017 at the MacKenzie Funeral Chapel in Teulon. Donations in memory of Betty can be made to the charity of your choice.
