Peacefully with her family by her side, Betty passed away on August 21, 2022, after a courageous battle with ALS. Much loved wife of Gerald for over 60 years, making memories on their many trips and adventures. She will always be in the hearts of her four daughters and their families, Sharon and her husband Dan Sirey, Wendy and her husband Mark Fowler, Tracy O’Boyle, and Gail Smith. Special mother-in law to Doug Smith. ‘Gma’ enjoyed family gatherings watching her grandkids carry on. She will be truly missed by Niki and Chris and great granddaughter Lily, Tara and Ian, Daniel and Julia, Rachel and Tristan, Tim, Maddison, Bria and Mitch, and Bethany. Daughter of Hugh and Georgina McClair, Betty was born on January 20, 1943, in Wishaw, Scotland where she shared her childhood with her siblings Helen, Bobby, Georgie, Hugh, Jimmy, Millie, David, Alex, Colin, and Alan. Auntie Betty to Gina Chreppas, Ted, David, John Smirnios, and many nieces and nephews overseas. Lifetime friends of John and Isabel Fleming, John and Linda Rivard, Jack and Gail Moore, Bob, and Carol Harrington.
