South, Elizabeth «Betty» (nee Lock):
It is with profound sadness that we announce the loss of our mother, Elizabeth «Betty» Lillian South, who passed away on October 11, 2024 at the age of 98. Beloved wife of 61 years to Robert (Bob) South, who passed away in 2007.
Elizabeth was born in Toronto on March 14, 1926, and lived most of her life in Kitchener.
She is survived by her sons Robert «Bob» (Lori), Paul (Myra) and her daughter Jo-Ann (Dan).
Beloved Grandmother/Nana of Michelle McLeod (Sandy), Lisa Fox (Jeff), Jeffery Norman, Whitney South, Steven Norman (Nicole), and Adrienne South.
Adored Great-Grandmother of Adam and Nathan Fox, Alexander and Charlotte Norman, Kaylie MacLeod, and Owen and Khloe Norman.
The world is a lesser place without Elizabeth in it. Her list of accomplishments are too many to share, but with her boundless energy and grace, she donated much of her time to volunteering. She started as a team captain with the March of Dimes, and taught Sunday School at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and then St. James Rosemount United Church.
She spent 21 years in various positions with the Girl Guides of Canada, including Brown Owl, and time with the 24th Kitchener Scout Aid Auxiliary and the North Waterloo Scout Ladies Auxiliary and the 404 Wing Air Force Auxiliary.
She worked at Eaton’s and Simpson-Sears, then joined The Record as a tour guide in 1978. She volunteered for 40 years at Freeport Hospital, until she reached the age of 90. In 1990 she received a nomination in the Community Service category for KW Oktoberfest Woman of the Year Awards. She was bestowed the Ontario Senior Achievement Award by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario in 2016.
Betty’s family will receive relatives and friends from 12-12:45 p.m. on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, 519-749-8467. Memorial Service in the chapel on Saturday at 1 p.m. Reception to follow. Private interment Memory Gardens Cemetery.
