The daughter of the late George and Effie Edwards of Schomberg, she was predeceased by her husband Hans in 1997. Also predeceased by her brother Murray Edwards. Loving mother of Dean (Sabine) Huisman of Vienna Austria, and Joanne (Douglas) Washburn of Midhurst, Ontario.

Betty grew up and went to school in Schomberg. After graduating from high school, she worked in the bank on Main Street. She and Hans lived on Main St. while Betty provided daycare in her home for local families. Betty went on to work at the IGA (now Foodland) in Schomberg until her retirement. Betty would eventually move into the Kitchen Breedon Manor on Main St. beside the Library, where she lived happily for over 20 years.
