Betty-Jean lived her life her way and fought cancer the same way right to the end. She often defied the rules but had the kindest, most generous heart. Her home was always open and there was always space at the table for anyone who was passing through. She loved rock music, going out and traveling. Her husband and her traveled cross country not once but twice on the motorcycle. Many years were spent behind the counter at Monty’s cycle shop as well and we can’t forget about all the years at King’s Castle Land. She passed that vigor for life on to both of her girls and their children. Her legacy will be carried into the next generations including her great grandson who will be born in September. We will miss her but know she is at peace, whole and no longer in pain.
