Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Leary
Leary (Bishop) (Bent), Mary Elizabeth (Betty), Dartmouth/Beaverbank
It is with broken hearts we announce the sudden passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother at the Dartmouth General Hospital on December 06, 2018 at the age of 80. Born May 06, 1938 she was the daughter of the late Edward and Theresa Robertson of Kingsboro, PE.
Mom was one of the strongest people we all knew, she put her family and friends ahead of herself – always; and was a wonderful example of strength and courage. She loved to feed people, you could always count on a homemade snack or a care package to take home, when you visited. Mom was extremely happy these past few months that she lived with her former Son-In -Law Jerry Dawson Sr. who she fondly nicknamed her “roomie” and she was so appreciative of those Sunday drives! She was so looking forward to Christmas this year and to meeting her
newest great-granddaughter due in January.
She will be missed by her daughters, Theresa (Carl) Salsman, Grand Lake; Kathy (Donnie) Lake, Ardoise; their father
Charles Bent, Newport Corner; her grandchildren, Jamee, Jerry and Kevin Dawson, Charlie and Jack Lake; and great-grandchildren Justin, Eric, Charlee and Quinn; and Eric Thibeault who she loved as a son; and her faithful canine companion Buddy.
She was predeceased by husband Edward Leary and her long-time companion John Bishop. Mom, you were a beautiful person inside and out and we are sad that you left us so suddenly; know that we will hold our treasured memories of you in our hearts where you will remain –always.
Please join us for a celebration of Mom’s life on Tuesday, December 11th from 5 – 7 p.m. with prayers at 6 p.m. at Atlantic Funeral Home, Lower Sackville, NS.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Mary Elizabeth Betty Leary 2018..
