August 4, 1922 - October 19, 2010. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend on October 19, 2010. Bette leaves behind her adoring husband of 66 years, Lloyd Williams, her children Jane, Dai and Martha Williams, her grandchildren Evan Williams, Kyle Williams, Paul Steffes and her great-grandson, Jayden Williams. She is predeceased by her brother, Rae Alden (Syd Armstrong). Bette was born in Anyox, BC and raised in Vancouver where she attended Kitsilano High School. There she excelled in sports, especially field hockey. She met Lloyd in high school and they eloped during WWII in October 1944 when Lloyd was home on leave from the Navy. Bette lived in West Vancouver for the past 45 years where she played badminton, was an original member of the Ambleside Waterfront Ratepayers Association, loved to paint and for many years was a member of the West Vancouver Sketch Club. Her greatest love apart from family was playing bridge. Bette loved her home and surroundings and not a day went by when she didn't express to friends and family how lucky and fortunate she felt to live where she did and to have had such a long and fulfilling life. All who knew her looked to her for her wisdom and inner strength and loved her for her truthfulness and loyalty. Bette's wishes were that her family celebrate her life privately. Flowers graciously declined; however, friends wishing to honour Bette's memory, please do so with an association of your choice.
