Obituary for Betty Raitt
Marjorie Lillian Betty Raitt, known to most as Betty, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 15, 2021. At the age of 94 years, Betty had lived a full live and was deeply loved. She was many things to many people: our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, Aunt (Aunt Bet) and friend (Miss Betty).
Betty’s death was not COVID related; it was just her time.
She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Sheila and son, Gordon (Leslie); her grandchildren Matthew (Hayley), Michael (Jenn), Chris (Nicole), Melissa (Hugo), Chad, Corey, and Amber; along with her eleven great-grandchildren; Abby, Skylar, Peyton, Tristan, Grace, Owen, Hannah, Juliette, Ivy, Èlioth and Anaïs.
Betty was predeceased by her loving husband of 60 years, Donald Vincent Raitt, her parents Robert and Elsie, and her son (in-law), Walter.
A Celebration of Life will be held at St. George's Memorial Church (51 Centre Street South, Oshawa), on Sunday July 24, 2022 at 2 P.M. Interment service will be held for Betty and Donald at Mount Lawn Funeral Home and Cemetery (21 Garrard Road Whitby) on Monday July 25, 2022 at 1P.M.
In lieu of flowers, memorial Donations may be made to:
