Posted on: Sunday, June 2, 2024I first met Betty when she and I became chartered members of the Kingsway/Islington Probus Club. She and I worked on several events planning committees in the early days of the Club. We also became good friends and socialized frequently. Betty was a very generous and caring person, and I will miss our long telephone calls and wine tasting evenings together. My sincere condolences to her family.
