Betty Lou KABAROFF

KUPCZAK, Betty Lou It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our Mother, Betty Lou Kupczak. Mom provided warmth, guidance, and was always willing to listen to us throughout her life. Mom's six grandchildren were the love of her life. She was well known for her continual picture taking. The walls of her home were covered with pictures surpassing those of a small library. Mom said goodbye to life on the morning of August 24, 2008 with her family at her side. Mom was a diabetic for nearly fifty years but it was complications arising from surgery that took her from us. Mom was predeceased by her parents, Bill and Helen Kabaroff; sisters Polly, Helen, Francis, Emma, and Mary; brothers Nick and Mike and her husband Joe. Her memory remains with her children, Jim, Michele, Samantha and Nathan (Edmonton), Debbie, Micheal and Steven (Calgary), Jan, Todd, Kristine and Victoria (Cochrane) and her sister Marge (Calgary). Our heartfelt thanks go out to Dr. Kieser, Dr. Ferland and Unit 94 Foothills Hospital. A special thank you to Steve and the crew who made Mom's last hours comfortable and peaceful. Celebration of Mom's life will be held in the Chapel of MOUNTAIN VIEW FUNERAL HOME on Saturday, August 30, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. Interment to follow. Mom's wishes were that in lieu of flowers, a donation may be made directly to the Canadian Diabetes Association (204, 2323 - 32 Avenue N.E., Calgary, AB, T2E 6Z3). Arrangements entrusted to MOUNTAIN VIEW FUNERAL HOME and CEMETERY, 1605 - 100 Street S.E. (17 Avenue S.E. and Garden Road), Calgary, AB. Telephone: 403-272-5555.
