Alice Elizabeth » Betty » Boyd
1935-2019
It is with a heavy heart that the family of Alice Elizabeth (Betty)
Boyd announces her passing on November 10, 2019 at the River View
Manor, Bath. Born May 21, 1935 in Saint John, NB, she was the daughter
of the late Gordon and Phyllis Ring. She was also predeceased by her
loving husband Walter (Sam) in 2012.
Betty moved to Johnville in 1957 at the age of 22 to build a life with
her husband Sam. As farm wife and mother to 8 children, she immersed
herself in the Johnville community and provided a welcome home to all
her extended family and friends. Betty was active in the church
community and a CWL member for 50 years. She excelled at her role as a
caregiver and defined the role of a grandmother. With her special love
and keen interest in everyone’s life events, she became the
neighbourhood Grammie Betty. Betty’s door was always open for a
meal, cup of tea or a game of cards. She remained the centre of our
family, keeping us up to date on the latest happenings, new babies,
wedding plans and more.
Betty is survived by her 8 children, Sean (Mary), Cathy Boyd-Brennan
(Matt), Jean Nisbet (John), Marty (Joyce), Peter, Denise Kilfoil
(Stephen), Doug (Sandy) and Kelly McCullough (Dave); siblings Lorraine
Brown and Doug Ring (Carol); as well as many extended family and close
friends.
She enjoyed with pride the love of her 22 grandchildren and kept an
active interest in their lives: Ryan (Carolyn), Bethany, Tara, Connor,
Colin (Susan), Alex (Steve), Haley, Luke (Magen), Michael, Emily,
David, Jordan, Janelle, Sarah (Kevin), Caroline (Sean), Rachel, Nathan
(Allix), Jeremy (Destiny), Chase, Delaney, Nicholas and Jackson. In
recent years, she especially loved her visits with her
great-grandchildren, Emmett, Tessa, Chloe, Emma, Quinn and Haydn.
Making the most of every situation and with determination she moved to
the River View Manor in 2017. There she continued to play cards,
celebrate special events and develop new friendships with residents
and staff. The family wishes to thank them for making her last couple
of years enjoyable.
