NEILA (BETTE) KLEEMOLA

(nee BOYLE)

It is with great sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Bette Kleemola, on Monday January 13, 2025, at the age of 72. She was surrounded by the love of her family and in the comfort of her home in Niagara Falls.

She was the beloved wife of 52 years to Allan Kleemola and loving mother of Geoff Kleemola and Kristen Torgerson. Cherished sister of Bonnie (the late Brian) Smith, Brent (Wanda) Boyle, Barrie (Shelley) Boyle, and Blaine (Jodi) Boyle. She will be fondly remembered by her dear cousin Kevin (Carole) McFadden, nephews, Jason (Michelle) Kleemola, Chad (Nanette) Kleemola, many other nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, as well as many cousins in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba and across Canada. Bette was predeceased by her parents, Bob and Beth.

Bette was born and raised in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Following their marriage, Bette and Allan moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where they resided for 42 years. Bette and Allan then moved to Niagara Falls, Ontario ten years ago. With her passion and kindness, she touched the lives of many.

Cremation has taken place. Friends are invited to join the family at the PATTERSON FUNERAL HOME, 6062 Main St., Niagara Falls, for a Celebration of Life on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. For those who wish, a livestream of the Celebration of Life will be available at Facebook.com/PattersonFuneral.
