loving wife of Mr. Ronald Paul Dewar of St. George NB. Born at St.

Betty had been previously employed at Point Lepreau with the Service
Maintenance Department for approximately 20 years. She was an avid card
player who loved a good game of Canasta or Rummy. She truly had a heart
of gold and was always the first person to help someone in need whether
it was clothing for a child or just a shoulder to lean on, Betty felt
her best when she was helping others. She enjoyed cooking not only for
her family but for friends and if you left her house hungry it was fault
of your own. In the summers she loved to go camping with her husband
Ronnie at Penobsquis NB. She will be truly missed by all who knew her.
