It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Betty Jane Hillaby, daughter of Walter and Katherine Hillaby. Born February 6th, 1959, Betty was taken too early on April 19, 2023, by cancer. She is survived by her mother, Katharine, sister Karen, and brother Stanley. She was predeceased by her father, Walter, and brothers, Duane and Larry. She is remembered as: Betty Jane, Betty, and Auntie Betty. Family and friends, remember her laugh, her smile, her generosity.
In her youth she moved to Vancouver and was an employee of the Bank of Montreal. She was also a student, an artist, and an adventurer. Betty wanted to see the world, so she and friends trekked across Europe in the mid 1980s. She is gone, but now she is at rest, out of pain, and in the company of those that have gone before her.
Her sunny smile and sweet laugh stirs the warm memories in our hearts.
