Condolence from Sharanne MacDonald on December 7th, 2023 5:38 PM

Many years ago we both worked as Tour Directors. We shared an apartment in Cambridge for a couple of years. With both of us travelling, we had the apartment for 3 months before we actually spent a night together in it. Betty was a lovely person with a radiant smile and the best laugh. Her only dreadful habit was smoking in bed! She was lots of fun. My deepest sympathy to you all

Condolence from Jerry Van Dyke on December 7th, 2023 6:20 PM

I had the pleasure of working with Betty many many years ago when I drove tour buses for All Star Tours/United Trails and In many cases Betty was the escort/ tour manager and we travelled all over North America.
Betty was an absolute pleasure to work with,she was ALWAYS happy,the people al loved Betty and she loved them.
Betty really did her homework before she set out on a tour ,even if she had never been to a destination before you would never know it,her knowledge of the whole route and cities would be amazing.
And always with a smile on her face,Betty was such a sweet sweet person,is it any wonder that all the drivers loved to travel with her.Betty loved her job and the fact that she made many old people’s dreams come true made her very proud,
I’m sorry to hear that Betty had cancer,but happy to hear that she got married again and to a Dutchman no less
I sure hope he treated Betty well ,she only deserved the very very best,

REST IN PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND,I THINK OF YOU OFTEN
