BEATRICE IRENE BENNET March 9, 1928 - October 27, 2017 Peacefully, on October 27, 2017, Betty Bennet (nee Corrigal) passed away at Red River Place Personal Care Home in Selkirk, Manitoba. Betty will be lovingly remembered by her sister Rita Johnson (Ken), daughters, Rita Procyshyn (Arnie) and Valerie Brown (Bob), son, Bill Bennet, her grandchildren Zena and Jessie Procyshyn, Sara and Brady Bennet, Janna Ariel (Danny), and great-grandchildren Benjamin and Samuel Ariel. Betty was predeceased by her parents Gladys and Bill Corrigal, her husband Edward (Ted/Putt) Bennet, and her daughter Maureen Gladys Bennet. Betty was born in Selkirk and she resided there for her entire life except for a brief time spent in Calgary. She worked for Bob Szewczyk as a legal secretary for many years until she retired at the young age of 75 years. She also volunteered as the organist for St. Clements Church in Selkirk for as long as she was able. Sadly she had to stop playing her music when her eyesight started to fail her. A celebration of her life will take place on Friday, November 3, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Clements Church in Selkirk. A private interment will take place prior to the service. Because of her love of music a scholarship will be created for a deserving music student in Grade 12 at the Lord Selkirk Regional Comprehensive Secondary School, 221 Mercy Street, in Selkirk. In lieu of flowers, please send your donations to the High School Office care of Mr. Michael Brandon. Condolences may be left at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
