LANTZ, Betty September 10, 1925 - October 19, 2008 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Betty (mother, grandmother, aunt and friend), after a brief illness at Bethany Care Centre, Airdrie, Alberta. Betty and Henning were married in 1945, raised their family of two sons while working side by side to firmly establish the Lantz farm in Conrich. Betty is predeceased by Henning and her younger sister Margaret. She is survived by her two sons, Roy (Bonnie) of Langley, BC and David (Eve) of Calgary, AB. She is also survived by her five grandchildren, Melanie (Langley, BC), Keith (Abbotsford, BC), Kacey (Calgary, AB), Nilsa (Calgary, AB) and Janna (Calgary, AB). Betty also leaves behind nieces, nephews and close friends who she loved and cared about deeply. Betty's last years were spent in the Bethany Care Centre community where she made new friends who mourn her passing as well. The family is very appreciative of the staff that provided her with such loving care during her stay at Bethany and especially those caring for her during those difficult last days. Following Betty's wishes a private remembrance will be held for immediate family. A memorial tribute may be made in Betty Lantz's name to Bethany Care Centre, 1736 - 1 Avenue N.W., Airdrie, Alberta, T4P 2C4.
