ELIZABETH “BETTY” NYSTORUK (née Pape)
1941 — 2024
On November 6, 2024, Heaven gained a new star while the world was left a little less bright. Elizabeth (but I answer quicker to Betty) Nystoruk (née Pape) passed away unexpectedly.
She was born on November 2, 1941 in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. In 1958, the family moved West and settled in Kamloops. Betty worked in the laundry department at Royal Inland Hospital for many years until her retirement. She married Steve in 1974 and they shared several adventures together until his death in 2016.
Betty always found the positive side to every situation. Her cheerfulness attracted company and you would soon find yourself smiling and laughing at some silly thing she would say. She was fiercely independent and did as much as she could by herself, she never wanted to bother anyone. Betty had incredible luck. It seemed she was always winning at bingo, or the slot machines, she even won $10,000 twice on lotto scratch tickets! Family meant the world to her and she looked forward to each gathering to catch up with everyone.
The family would like to say thank you to Dr Montalbetti for taking care of her for so many years, she was always so happy to see you. Additionally, the many nurses who cared for Betty at 1 South, the clinic or in her home. We appreciate your kindness and for making sure she had everything she needed. Also, the staff at Chartwell for the excellent care and attention you gave her, and for “treating her like a queen”. She was truly happy in her new home, we wish she would have had more time with you. And to Josey, Betty called you “another sister”. Thank you for the many years of friendship, her visits to you were the highlight of her day.
Predeceased by her husband and best friend Steve, her parents, John and Barbara, and her sisters Lena, Rose and Kathy.
Betty is survived by her brothers John (Annette), Tony (Anne) and David and by her sister Mary (Victor). Also missing her are numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
A private service will be held for family on November 23, 2024.
Death is not extinguishing the light.
Perhaps the stars in the sky are loved ones letting us know they are near.
