Young Betty Ann Page started working at Tom Doucet grocery and later at the Clairol factory in Knowlton. For many years she was a Brownie Leader in Knowlton.

Later, in Foster, she ran a corner/store restaurant which she turned into a Seniors Residence/Post Office. She worked as a nurse’s aide at Manoir Lac-Brome. A member of the Rebekah Lodge where she became Noble Grand, Betty was successively Secretary Treasurer for the Waterloo Legion, for the Brome County Historical Society, the Brome Fair, and treasurer for the Chamber of Commerce.

Craft and Volunteer Work

A passionate crafter, she loved to crochet and spent countless hours knitting dolls that she donated to the Sherbrooke Hospital sick children’s ward. A doll would be given to each child admitted for comfort. Her last knitting was for the Alpaca Boutique in Sutton.

Health and Final Years

In the end, for five long years, suffering from kidney problems she went to the Granby Hospital taking dialysis 2 or 3 times a week. In spite of the good care, finally her kidneys gave out.

For her daughter, her five grandchildren, six great grandchildren and five great great grandchildren she was a cat with nine lives.

She will be missed by many.
