Elizabeth Agnes “Betty” Hill
1932-2019
After a long period of challenging health, Elizabeth
« Betty » A. Hill, passed away at the Oromocto Public Hospital
On Sunday, October 13th, 2019. Born in Saint John, NB on February
8th, 1932, she was the daughter of the late
Lucien and Jessie (McIntyre) Ritchie.
In Betty’s earlier days, she played baseball,
volleyball and enjoyed speed skating. That passion for
sports continued throughout her life. She was an avid fan
and loved to watch a good ball game or hockey game. Betty
enjoyed life, and some of her favourite places to spend time was with
her sister Helen Wood in White’s Cove. She also
had many wonderful RVing weekends in her trailer. She loved
to play cards, especially crib, 45’s and wizard with her
friends.
Betty worked for the Royal bank in Saint John before coming
to Oromocto where she worked in Base Supply at CFB Gagetown.
She also spent a year on the Board of Directors in 2004 for York
Credit Union in Oromocto and was a faithful parishioner of St. Vincent
de Paul Catholic Church in Oromocto.
Betty’s personality was unlike any other.
She was strong minded and she had her own particular way of doing
things. Her home was kept immaculately, she always dressed
impeccably and her date squares were legendary. Betty was
certainly an original and if you were counted among her friends, then
a friend indeed you had.
She is survived by her brothers; Arnold (Rosalie) Ritchie of
Saint John and Jim (Eunice) Ritchie of Ontario; her sister Mary Lou
McEvoy of Saint John and several nieces and nephews. Betty
will be dearly missed by her friends Joan and Isabel.
Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her brothers;
Lucien, Bob, Struan and Michael and her sisters; Jessie, Winnifred,
Helen, Rose Marie and Eileen.
Special thanks to Dr. White and the doctors, nurses and staff
of the OPH and also Extramural – Oromocto, for their support and care
of Betty.
As per Betty’s request, a Funeral Mass will be held
Thursday, October 17th, 2019 from St. Vincent
de Paul Catholic Church at 12:00 pm followed by interment in the
Church Cemetery.
