After a hard fight, with her daughter by her side Bethany Grace Austin died peacefully at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital on May 4, 2021. Bethany leaves behind her only child Alishia Robson, and mother-in-law (mamma bear) to Jeremy Dayman. A very proud and loving nana to Dakota, Hunter and Faith. Sister to Audrey (Ron) Durnin, Kevin (Carolyn) Austin, Lynn (Larry) Million, Michele (Bob) Rourke, Barry (Kathy) Austin and Marlowe (Deb) Austin. As well as aunt to many nieces and nephews. Fondly remembered by her Special partner Steve Shannon whom she loved dearly of 14 years as well as His children Alex, Krysten and Jennifer. Predeceased by her father Vincent and Mother Idell (MacDonald) Austin as well as her nephew Jeremy Austin.
Beth adored all the children in her life, no matter who they were, she made sure they called her nana and gave them lots of love. Making sure they were always well taken care of whether it was giving them a toonie for a drink at Timmy’s or spoiling them on a birthday they all had a special place in her heart. Bethany knew everyone, shopping always took twice as long when she was around. She was always bound to run into someone she knew and had to stop and catch up and always had a storey to share. Her biggest achievement she will be remembered for is always making those around her laugh and having a great sense of humor. She poured her heart and soul into making special blankets as baby shower gifts, that truly was her talent. Bethany was her own unique person but had a kind heart and loved with every ounce of it in her own way.
A very heart filled thank you to the wonderful Dr.’s and nurses at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital for giving Bethany such wonderful care.
Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers any donations can be made to the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Foundation. Friends may sign the book of condolences at www.mccallumpalla.ca
