It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Mary "Betty" Elizabeth Cousins.  

Mom was loved by many and will be greatly missed by everyone's lives she touched.

She was predeceased by her husband Donald (2002),  parents, Lawrence and Verna Pritchard, sisters Verna, Gloria, and Peggy, brothers, Jimmy, Johnny, and Robert at infancy, grandchildren, Adam and Nikita, and dogs, Lady, Tony and Gabby. 

Mom was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  She married her husband Donald in 1970.  Mom had a great love for flowers and spent many hours preparing her patio so her and dad could host many family BBQ's as they enjoyed socializing with the people close to them. Mom made beautiful bouquets, and all kinds of flower arrangements for special occasions . She enjoyed writing humorous poems about her family and friends, making great inventions out of household items, building puzzles, doing crosswords and liked when her mind was challenged. 

Mom had the opportunity to go to Memphis with her daughters, her brother and friends on more than one occasion, this was always a special time for her. 

She was very strong in her faith, and enjoyed studying and teaching the Bible.

Mom had a great love for all of her family and friends. 

We would like to thank Seniors' First, Home Care, 5th Medicine, and the Palliative Care Unit at St, Paul's Hospital. We would also like to thank everyone who shared their support during this very difficult time. 

Mom, you will be forever in our hearts.  You were the strongest woman we have ever known.  We will love and miss you always and forever. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Lung Association.
