It is with great sadness the family of Betty Mae (Knight) Johnson announces her peaceful passing at London Victoria Hospital on Tuesday, July 16th in her 86th year. Greatly missed by her caring companion Guy Robinson. Loved and cherished Mother of Linda (Jeff); Bev (Al); Sandy (Chip) and Dave (Kim).

Her friends were many and special friends were always a huge joy and comfort in her life. She was the very best Mom in the world and was so very proud and thankful of her family. We will miss you so much Mom, but thankfully you have left us with tons of special happy memories in which you can live on forever in our hearts. Heaven just got sunnier!

Linda, Bev, Sandy, Dave. Guy and to Betty’s family
I have many fond memories of your Mom and of the old neighbourhood , and the fun we would have when we were kids.
Thinking of you all at this sad time.
Words, however kind, can’t mend your heartache: but those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind. May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friend’s.

To all of Betty’s family,
Miss Betty blessed dad with the happiest and sweetest years of his life.
How they loved to do so many things together. Travel, Piping Down the Sun, sharing a wee dram in the evening, catching up on news, the weddings, the new babies, visiting with dear friends and dear family, concerts and on and on. What a wonderful time of life they shared.
I was so blessed to have been one of her “adopted” daughters. I will always remember our little phone chats, her laugh, her quick wit, her thoughtfulness and her beautiful soul.
Rest in sweet peace Miss Betty.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the family at this time, and to Guy ( our friend ), who loved Betty so much and was her constant companion for so many good years. Nancy and Betty were so found of each other and had some great times singing with the Bag Ladies, along with some other wonderful ladies from Goderich. Betty ( The Lovely Lady from Nile ) we used to call her, will be sadly missed by us all. Rest in Peace…….Bill and Nancy,
Becky and Dave McIvor
Betty was such a sweet lady. Even though she had many health problems of her own always asked about others. The bag lady days were fun and entertaining May I add our little Hiawatha will be missed.RIP Betty
