Betty Donna Maria Borland Obituary
Passed away on November 11, 2024 after a 8 month cancer battle, Betty Donna Maria Borland, at the Central NL Regional Health Center, GFW. She was 67 years of age.
Betty was a «been there, done that» kind of person who lived life to the fullest and checked many things off her bucket list. If she dreamed it, she most likely did it. A true trailblazer, she started riding motorcycle at a young age in a time when it was unheard of for women to ride. She rode right until the end of the season last year, and couldn’t stop talking about how much she wanted to ride again this year. Sadly, she was unable to due to her illness. Betty also worked on ships sailing the Great Lakes, often the only female on board.
Over the years, Betty had many different careers, including heavy equipment operator, CMM operator and PCA. Most recently, over the last 8 years, Betty was a beloved bus driver for both schools in Botwood and a janitor at the Botwood Collegiate.
«Nana Boop» had an enormous heart and loved her friends and family fiercely. All of her students, co-workers and biker buddies, as well as of course, her immediate and extended family will tell you how lucky they were to be loved by the «unknown legend». May she forever ride a desert highway on her Harley, with her long blonde hair blowing in the wind once again.
Betty is predeceased by her parents Edward “Jiggs” Borland and Alma (Giles) Borland; sister Beverly Borland; brother-in-law Derek Squires. She leaves to mourn her daughter Danielle (Shawn Arnold) Borland; sisters Bonnie and Barbara; brothers Bryan (Diane) Borland, Bruce (Wendy) Borland; grandchildren Astrid and Arloe, Danielle’s father Glen Morrison, many other relatives and friends.
