September 4, 2020 at 9:20 pmMy condolences to Betty’s family. Betty was a true friend of mine for over 40 years. We both were one of the few women in Ontario to drive bulk milk truck. Betty always said we were both so blessed to have great jobs. I left to go out west while Betty kept with the milk truck till retirement. Through all of this we always kept in touch. I have lost a true friend. I will miss her so much.

September 4, 2020 at 8:08 pmI am the daughter of a dairy farmer and grew up seeing Betty every other day when she would come to pick up our milk. I LOVED seeing Betty’s smiling face each time, and she always seemed happy to see me and my brothers. Even as an adult, she always asked how I was and what I was doing. She was such a caring, thoughtful, and warm person who will be missed.
Praying for family for peace and healing through this time.

September 5, 2020 at 1:25 pmTo those who love Betty,
We are so sorry to hear of her passing. It is a shame that in the time of her death we are not able to gather — as she would have had the place packed with adoring and thankful dairy farmers! (Along with all of the other people she had touched in her life) She was a morning staple in our lives, with daily milk pick up at the time, and we are so glad she was. An early morning joke and some kindness sent our way from Betty was sure to set the day off right. Betty — thanks for always spilling some milk for our dog, he will sure be tail waggin’ to see your face coming over the rainbow bridge.
We hope that this comment finds those who need it, as we send you so much love and grace during this heartbreaking time.
Megan, Hugh & the kids

September 5, 2020 at 10:47 pmOur most heartfelt condolences to Greg and family, Crump and Backes Family.
Our memories run deep with Betty. It all started with Betty picking up milk at our farm. Always a smile and a warm gesture. Always took the time to ask how you were and waited to hear the answer because she truly cared. Our kids would run to the milk house when they saw it was Betty driving. Not shy at sharing snacks and a laugh. A true friendship grew
Betty was a mentor that we all looked up to. She possessed true work ethic, spirit, love and compassion. Our family will forever be grateful we had Betty in our lives for as long as we did. She will forever be loved and truly missed
