Elizabeth Emily Sinstadt
1928-2020
It is with peace and love that the family of Elizabeth Emily
Sinstadt (née Anderson) of Fredericton NB, announce her
passing on September 4, 2020 at Hospice House at the age of 91.
Elizabeth, better known as Betty, was born in Perth, NB on November
25, 1928. She was the daughter of the late James McNichol Anderson and
Annie Vernis Sullivan.
In addition to her parents, Betty was predeceased by her
husband Donald Vernon Young Sinstadt, sister Marion Giberson,
brother-in-law Vernon Giberson, brother Vaughan Anderson, and
brothers-in-law William Veniot and Joseph Descouteau.
Betty is survived by her children; Patricia (Bryan Walker),
David (Heather Scott), William (Sharon Vautour), Kathryn (Rick
Bowmaster), daughter-in-law Francine St-Amand, grandchildren; Erin,
Alison, Morgan, Taylor, Nicholas, Annie, Michelle, Justin, Luc,
Luke/Aquila, Zéa, and great-grandchildren; Noah, Charlotte,
Samuel, Brodie, siblings; sisters Joan Descouteau, twins Emily Flynn
(Bill) and Beatrice Crawford (Mac), twins Margaret Rideout and
Marjorie White, brother John Anderson (Diana), special sister Ruth
Elliott, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews and a large
extended family.
In addition, we include a special message of love to missing
son Christopher.
Betty was the eldest of her siblings, and as such was more
than a sister, helping raise and care for her younger siblings
alongside her own children.
In her youth, she worked as a telephone operator in Andover,
NB. One of her favourite stories was of the wonderful December night
when she connected a call from a venue where Bing Crosby happened to
be singing live. The caller generously told her to leave the line open
so that she and her co-workers could listen as he sang White
Christmas.
Betty married Donald Sinstadt in 1949 at St. Mary’s
of the Angels’ Church in Andover, NB. They enjoyed 59 years
together, raising their children in Aroostook and spending countless
days and nights at their camp on the Tobique river. They later moved
to Fredericton to be closer to their children and
grandchildren.
Betty also enjoyed many years with the Auxiliary of the
Canadian Legion at Andover and working as a florist at The Flower
Pot.
Betty was an excellent cook, and an even better baker, and
will be forever remembered by her family for the wonderful pies,
gingerbread and orange cakes she made for special occasions and
frequent family gatherings. Betty enjoyed gardening, reading and
simply being with her family. Some of her greatest loves in life were
the many wonderful dogs with which she shared her heart. She was a
kind and generous caregiver and neighbor, always looking after those
around her. She will be greatly missed by all.
The family would like to thank the many people who supported
Betty in the months leading up to her passing; her many personal care
workers, extramural nurses and the employees and volunteers at Hospice
House Fredericton. Donations in Betty’s memory can be made
to Hospice House in Fredericton where she spent her last days under
their compassionate care.
