Bellaire 2024 résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles.
It is with sadness and gratitude for a long life well lived that we mark the death of Margaret Elizabeth (Betty) Bellaire who passed away in her 104th year, on Boxing Day, December 26, 2024. Betty was born in Amherstburg, Ontario on June 7, 1921 and lived there until she was 7. The family moved to Windsor and went through some hard times in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Betty lost her mother to illness while still a child and lost her older sister when she was a teen. Later, while working at Sommerville Packaging in Windsor, she met Raymond Bellaire. She and Ray married in 1942 and had their son, Bruce, in 1949. Although she only had the one child, her house was always full of kids. Together, Betty and Ray opened their home to the neighbourhood children who loved her baking and warm heart.
Betty and Ray moved to Mississauga in the 1960’s for Ray’s work. After Ray retired, he started volunteering at the local elementary school, Munden Park. Betty soon joined him and for almost 20 years, the pair spent time at the school 3 days a week, teaching children crafts, playing games, and generally providing a grandparent experience. Betty was also very fond of her own grandchildren. She was always happy to look after and entertain them. Her four grandchildren have many happy memories of times spent with Betty and Ray.
Ray died in 2000 and Betty remained in their apartment in Mississauga until 2015 when her lack of sight made it impossible for her to live on her own. At that time she moved into the Cobourg Retirement Residence to be close to Bruce and his family. She spent 8 happy years in her new home, even though her walking excursions through the town were curtailed by a stroke. When that facility closed, she moved to the Tower of Port Hope Retirement Residence, where she remained until it became necessary to move to Long Term Care. She spent the last months of her life at Extendicare Cobourg. She passed peacefully on December 26, 2024, with family members at her side.
Granny, as she was known to the family, is survived by her son Bruce and his spouse Beth along with their four children…Jackie, Brett, Keli, and Brendan. She is also survived by her 8 great grandchildren: Jaxon, Adelle, Maria, Dezso, Zoe, Isabela, Sasha, and Noah.
The family would like to thank the staff of Cobourg Retirement Residence, Tower of Port Hope, and Extendicare Cobourg for the care that they provided in Betty’s last years.
In lieu of flowers, we suggest a donation to the Cobourg Public Library. After she became unable to read, Betty turned to novels on cd. She listened to nearly 800 cd books borrowed from the Cobourg library.
