Betty Lorraine PARNHAM

SERIGHT, Betty Lorraine (nee Parnham) April 28, 1932 - May 1, 2008 Our dear wife and mom passed away peacefully at home surrounded by love on May 1, 2008. She will forever be missed by her loving husband and best friend of forty-five years, Doug; her seven children, Cathy (Fred), Bobbie (Daryl), Jan (Ray), Michael (Jean), Melanie (Ed), Kara (Jody), and Nikki (Ioan); her thirteen precious grandchildren, and her puppy, Maggie. Mom is also survived by her brother Jack and special niece, Debbie. We will remember Mom's love of her gardens, her magical way with roses, and the many smiles she planted in our hearts. As a family we would like to thank Mom's golf and bowling buddies, and her tea pal, Mae for their love, encouragement, and unending hope. Our heartfelt thanks too, to Dr. Paterson, Dr. Trotter, and Dr. Pickering as well as the angels at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre for their exceptional kindness and care. To our home care angels, Dr. Murphy, for her incredible soft spirit, to Janice for her guidance and wisdom, and to Kristal, you touched Mom's heart - for that we are so very grateful. A private family Service will be held. In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask that memorial tributes for Mom be made directly to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, 1331 - 29 Street N.W., Calgary, AB T2N 4N2 (Telephone 403-521-3433).
