DEVEREAUX, Elizabeth Marie 2009-04-21 Passed away at Wilson Memorial Hospital in Marathon, Ontario, on Saturday April 18, 2009 surrounded by the love of her family. Betty was born in Pointe Verte, New Brunswick and moved to Ontario with her husband and 4 children in 1949, living in Heron Bay and Marathon most of her life. Above all, Betty loved and was very proud of her family. She was active in the community, being a long-time volunteer with WMGH and the Marathon Senior’s Club. She was an avid gardener and no matter where she lived a flower garden was soon to follow. Betty is survived by her 4 children, Norma, Donald (Lois), Nelson (Ysanne), Barbara (Nick), 7 grandchildren, 3 step granddaughters, 6 great grandchildren, her brother Alex (Juliette) and "third son" Roger Hamilton. She was predeceased by her husband Norman (1983), 4 brothers and 4 sisters, son-in-law Cosmo and long time friend and companion Irv Just (2008). Betty was fortunate enough to survive to see her latest grandson, Ryder James, born during her brief stay at WMGH, thus beginning a new circle of life. The family would like to thank the staff and Doctor Scott Wilson at Wilson Memorial General Hpsoital for the kindness and compassion shown to our mother in her final days with us. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Wilson Memorial Hospital. Service to be held at 11:00 A.M., Tuesday April 21 at Holy Saviour Catholic Church. Private interment to follow at a later date. Forever in our hearts Cher
