PALING, Elizabeth (Betty)

1926 - 2010

Mum has left our lives in her 85th year to go and dance amongst the stars with her beloved husband Bill. She has also gone to join her parents Elizabeth and John Oberster, many brothers and sisters, her infant grandsons, Troy and Christopher and son-in-law Vince. Betty was a long time Missionite whose working career included the Ferndale General Store, Nicks Hi-Lite Burger Bar and becoming an accomplished hair stylist, first working at Alice’s and then proudly opening her own business “Betty’s Beauty Salon”. Mum’s wonderful creativity and impeccable style always showed in her personal attire and her warm home décor. When visiting with Mum you were always greeted with an abundance of food, a cup of tea and a full candy dish of rosebuds. Left to carry on are her children Garry, Gordon, Rick(Patti), Sherrie, her grandchildren and great grandchildren, her brothers Hank (Grace), Arne (Lil) and sisters Anne and Jean. A private tea was held in Mum’s honour.

Gone but never forgotten. In our hearts forever. Love from your children and family.
