Elizabeth (Betty) Forsyth
November 21st, 2019
1929 - 2019
With deep sadness we announce Betty’s sudden passing on November 21,2019.
Betty was the daughter of Elsie (Macleod) and Angus Mackenzie. She and her brother Douglas (d. 2018) grew up in Lennoxville, Quebec. Betty graduated in 1951 from the Montreal General Hospital School of Nursing and cherished friendships with classmates from those days throughout her life.
Betty was the loving wife of Bill Forsyth (d. 2001) whom she met in Montreal while in training. She and Bill were married and called several cities across Canada home over the course of Bill’s career including Tsawwassen where they retired.
Betty will be greatly missed by her children, Sheila(Wayne d.2004), Ian, and Jane (Grant). She always took great interest in their lives and those of her 5 granddaughters Brittany (Graham), Megan (Brian), Tamara (Sean), Madelyn (Ash),and Michaela (Matt). Betty will also be missed by sister in law Betty(Randy), cousins and numerous nieces and nephews.
Her great grandchildren Rylan, Liam, Katelyn, and Penny were a source of great delight for her.
Further to Betty’s wishes there will be no service, but a private family gathering at a later date.
If you so wish, donations in Betty’s memory to the George C Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary or Delta Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.
Dear Sheila, Ian and Jane, Phil and I were so sorry to hear of Betty's sudden passing. What a delightful lady she was. I always referred to her as "my right arm" when she and I worked together on the Social Committee of Royal Oaks for many years. We got along so well and I don't know what I would have done without her. I will certainly miss her and chatting on the phone with her. Love from both of us, Phil and Gail
