Betty MartensGrandma Betty passed away peacefully on September 7, 2017 at the age of 96 years. She was born on November 9, 1920 in Glencross, MB. Grandma will be forever missed by her two daughters, Gladys (Norman) Phillips and Joyce (Vern) Foss along with 5 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. Grandma was predeceased by her husband John and her infant son Robert, as well as numerous brothers and sisters. Grandma was a strong woman and a hard worker. She had more energy than those half her age. She loved family poker games, "puttering" around the garden, having the odd beer, but most of all her family. She loved spoiling her grand and great-grandkids and would rarely show up empty-handed when she visited them. Grandma was always busy as the family seamstress or baking goodies (roll kuchen and surprise buns were always our favourites). She was beyond generous and would have done anything for her family. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her. A big thank you to the nurses and staff at Sunnyside Nursing Home for providing grandma with such loving care. A celebration of grandma's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Society or a charity of your choice.
