- Betty Lou CROOKE — Valley
Of Valley. With sad hearts we share that our beloved Mother has completed her life’s journey, June 13, 2023 at the age of 91. Betty was the last surviving member of her immediate family. She was predeceased by her parents, Hamilton and Susan (Ayer) Morris, Hantsport; husband, Kenneth Crooke; infant daughter, Elizabeth; sister, Barbara; brother, Claude; loved son-in-law, Jim Brown; and companion, Lyle Fisher. Mom loved picnics at the beach, bird watching (particularly morning doves), scouting out treasures at yard sales and secondhand stores. She was an avid collector of cranberry glass, white porcelain cats, cups and saucers and “ladies”. An accomplished flower arranger for every occasion, decorator, seamstress, baker, social organizer, shop owner, bed and breakfast owner, a proud volunteer. The last few years she rediscovered knitting and many were gratefully stocked with her colourful dishcloths. Sweets were her favourite part of the meal and she could sense a bakeshop anywhere. A 5 o’clock glass of Dubonnet was always welcomed with a smile. Mom was strong willed and a doer. Mom met health and life challenges in her later years head on with strength and tenacity. We will forever admire her strength. Respecting Mom’s wishes there will be no visitation or service. Mom will be interred with her husband and Elizabeth in Riverbank Cemetery, Hantsport.
