October 21st, 1927 - February 4th, 2024
Passed away peacefully at Parkwood Mennonite Home on February 4 2024 in her 96th year.
Betty is survived by her loving daughter, Dorothy McMurry, and cherished grandchildren, Brad McMurry, and Katie Rowan (Mack). She adored her great granddaughter Birdie Rowan.
Betty was predeceased by her loving husband of 54 years, Oswald (Oz) Howes and her dear son, David Howes. She is survived by one sister, Patricia Kent of Ft Pierce, Florida and predeceased by her two brothers, Jack and Robert Graham, and her sister, Marion Woodruff.
Betty’s fondest childhood memories were growing up on the Bruce Peninsula at Lions Head. Later, the Graham family settled in Fergus where she met her future husband, Oz. After their marriage in 1951, they moved to Kitchener-Waterloo where they resided for over 70 years and raised their family. Betty was a life long member of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Kitchener.
Betty had many talents including being an excellent seamstress, a great cook and an amazing gardener. She was the best Mom and Grandma anyone could dream of. She was a very loving and giving person, and she will be greatly missed.
The family wishes to thank the kind and supportive staff at Parkwood Mennonite Home.
Cremation has taken place, and a private family graveside will take place at a future date.
In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Kitchener would be greatly appreciated by the family. www.grahamgiddyfh.com
