Mrs. Betty Lake

Betty passed away peacefully on Friday, December 13th, 2024 at St. Joseph's Care Group with her loving daughter, Gayle, by her side.

Betty was born to Albert and Della Brooks and she was raised on a dairy farm in Asquith, Saskatchewan where she enjoyed showing her dairy cattle. In the early 1960's Betty met Roy and they married in 1963 and had two children, Garnet and Gayle.

In 1973 they moved their family to Thunder Bay and opened Lake Ramp Services. Betty worked at Canada Employment Agency for 6 years before joining Roy in the family business. Together they worked hard, raised their family and eventually enjoyed their beach house and travelling in their motor home. Betty and Roy lived a loving and devoted 45 years together before Roy sadly passed in December 2008.

The bond with her daughter was truly one of a kind – the day always started with a phone call and ended with a phone call and “I love you”. Betty loved her daily shopping and luncheons and the day would not be complete without a trip to Tim's for her French Vanilla to enjoy later while watching her beloved Blue Jays.

Betty not only loved shopping, her poodles, baseball and crossword puzzles, she also loved being with people and making everyone she met feel welcome and comfortable. She was looking forward to attending the upcoming wedding of her grandson, Tyler to Amy.

Betty is predeceased by her parents, her husband Roy, a sister Evon (Don) and a brother Dale (Marie).

Betty is survived by her son, Garnet (Sue) Lake of St Catherines and her daughter, Gayle (Malcolm) Chaisson of Thunder Bay. Her grandchildren Kayle (Adam), Megan (Gregg), Tyler (Amy), Troy (Julia) and great grandchild Venesia. Betty was also very close to Faye, whom she referred to as “my second daughter”. Surviving siblings are Bev (Mona), Valerie (Art) and Dawn (Ron). Betty will be fondly missed by many extended family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice. Arrangements are in care of Everest Funeral Chapel, 299 Waverley street at Algoma.

Rest in peace, Betty. You will forever be loved and never forgotten.
