Obituary for Betty Iris Mcarthy Pitre (Clarke)

Betty Iris Mcarthy  Pitre (Clarke)
BETTY IRIS PITRE

Peacefully on October 14, 2017 at Park Manor Personal Care Home, Betty passed away at the age of 97.

Betty was predeceased by her husband Joe in 1986 and is survived by daughters Marilyn (Vic), Lucille (Harold), and son Jeff (Sylvia), 9 grandchildren 10 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. She is also survived by her sister Vera, and many nieces and nephews both here and in England

Born just after WW1, life in England was not easy. By the time WW2 came along Betty was a young lady and joined the English Land Army, laboring at various farms throughout England, helping to "feed the troops".

Betty met her Joe while he was in England with the Royal Canadian Engineers as the war was ending and after a brief courtship they were married in England on January 26, 1946. Travelling across the ocean with hundreds of other war brides, she finally arrived in Canada in August, 1946, settling in Winnipeg and enjoying a happy life here, later retiring to their cottage in Ontario, then on to White Rock, BC. After Joe's passing she decided to return to Winnipeg to be closer to her daughters and her sister.

Mom always said she had "itchy feet". She travelled extensively with dad and later with friends to many distant destinations. She loved music and even in her 90's would whistle and hum under her breath much to the amusement of staff at Park Manor Personal Care Home where she spent her last 10 years.

A Celebration of Betty's Life will be held on November 11, 2017, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Mosaic Event Centre, 1006 Nairn Ave.

At this time we sincerely thank past and present staff and volunteers at Park Manor for the loving care and attention they gave to Betty all these years.

If friends so desire, contributions can be made to Park Manor Building Fund.
