It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mom Betty Alberts on October 16, 2024, one month before her one hundred and first birthday. She died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.
Betty was born on November 14, 1923 in the Netherlands. She met the love of her life, Aart Alberts and they were married on April 26, 1951. After immigrating to Canada, Aart and Betty went on to have five children, Al (Wendy), Hank (Colleen), Caroline (Bruce), Ron (Mandy), and Tim (Darlene). Betty dedicated her life to being an amazing mother and Oma to her 12 grandchildren and Oma-ma to her 8 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by Aart in June of 2023.
Betty had an unwavering faith and prayed fervently for all. She loved to read and her books were among her most prized possessions. Betty never lost her determined “I can do it” attitude. She had an adventurous spirit and embraced life with joy, humility and a sense of humour until the end.
Visitation will be held at Memory Gardens Funeral Home, 2723 Victoria St. N, Breslau on Monday, October 21, 2024 from 1:00 pm with Funeral Service at 2:00 pm. Interment at Memory Gardens Cemetery followed by a reception.
