BETTY KATHLEEN FIDLER April 20, 1928 - July 16, 2017 Surrounded by the love of her family our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Betty, passed away peacefully at Selkirk Regional Health Centre on July 16, 2017. She leaves to cherish her memory her children, Ronnie (Teri), Karen (Bill) and Debbie (Donnie); grandchildren, Brooke (Wade), Melissa (Ricky), Marly (Brent), Kayla (Matty) and Brett (Jesse); great-grandsons, Odin, Ryder, Grayson and Nash, as well as many nieces and nephews. Betty is predeceased by her husband Mervin; son Roy; grandson Devon; five brothers, Stanley, Percy, Earl, Kenneth and Phillip; and five sisters, Caroline, Matilda, Isabel, Hazel and Mae. Betty was born in Selkirk, MB on April 20, 1928 and grew up with her family in Tyndall, MB. She worked at Fairfields, Bethania Home, Selkirk Bus Depot and Red River Nursing Home and retired in 1993. At the age of 42, Betty lost the love of her life after 22 years of marriage and was left with the task of raising four young teenagers on her own, always providing them with all her love, strength and support. Betty's most cherished time was spent in the company of her family and friends at backyard barbecues, family get-togethers, and late night card games. Betty was an avid sports fan and loved to watch a good game of hockey, curling or baseball, especially if her Blue Jays were playing. Betty had a great sense of humour, she loved to tease, laugh at a good joke and made sure she always got the last word in. The family would like to thank Selkirk home care for their services and support so that Betty could remain at home with her family for so long. A sincere thank you to Dr. Zoppa and all the nurses and staff of the Selkirk Regional Health Centre (Medical Ward 1) for their kind compassionate care. Hugs and love to Peggy who has always been a constant support in Betty's life right up until her very last moments. A memorial service will be held on Monday, July 24 at 11:00 a.m. in the Gilbart Funeral Chapel, 309 Eveline Street, Selkirk, MB. A private family interment of ashes will take place at a later date. Condolences may be left at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
