VERES, Elizabeth (Betty) Mary
October 23, 1920 – March 28, 2018
Elizabeth (Betty) Mary Veres (nee Banffy) died peacefully at the Foothills hospital at the age of 97. Betty was born in Timisoara, Romania and immigrated to Canada as a young child with her parents. They settled in Calgary where she grew up and completed her schooling when she graduated from St. Mary’s Girls High School with her senior matriculation. She was predeceased by her husband John who she was married to for 71 years. Betty is survived by her children; John (Betty), Bill (Jill), George (Karen) and David (Anne); nine grandchildren, Heather, Cameron (Lesley), Christopher (Angelika), Lindsay (Darcy), Darren, Kristin (Aaron), Matthew (Debbie), Brianna (Patrick) and Justina; and eight great grandchildren, Juno, Leonard, Kaitlyn, Evan, Jeremy, Colby, Rory and Arthur. Her greatest enjoyment was visiting with and talking to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Betty’s greatest passions were cooking and travel. After her late husband’s retirement, they travelled the world together and shared their wonderful memories with friends and family. Betty particularly delighted in spending time at their cabin in Gull Lake where friends and family regularly gathered. Betty will be deeply missed by all of those she touched and lovingly remembered for her warm and caring personality.
A special thanks to the health care providers at the Foothills hospital, the staff at Bow View Manor Nursing Home, and her many friends and staff at the Manor Village where she resided for 3 years. A private family service will be held at a later date.
