KILLIN, Elizabeth (Betty) Margaret (nee Thornborough) born on March 22, 1923, passed away peacefully at St. Catharines General Hospital on Monday, June 28 at the incredible age of 98 years.

Devoted Mom to daughters Sandra (Grant) Edwards & Dianne McDonald, loving step-mom to Linda (Frank) Braithwaite, Brian (Mary-Louise) Killin, Larry Killin, Patricia Killin; doting Nana to Grant (Tara) Edwards, Ken (Heather) Edwards, Chris (Sarah) McDonald, Laura McDonald; Ken & Jenny Braithwaite, Kathleen & Sean Killin; Mark Killin, Natalie Nott; adoring great-grandmother to Emily & Ryan Edwards, & Matthew McDonald; and aunt to many nieces & nephews.

Predeceased by her parents John & Mary Thornborough; step-father Albert (Mac) MacDonald, loving husband Archie Killin of 17 years; brother Stan (Pearl) Thornborough; son-in-law Wayne McDonald; and step-son Tom Killin.

Very special thanks to Mom’s devoted PSW caregivers and Anchor Pointe Retirement Residence management, staff and friends who all went above and beyond to provide exceptional care, plus her Bingo buddies at the Port Dalhousie Senior Centre. Betty enjoyed playing Bingo, knitting, music, dancing and helping at the Lions Club carnival.

Per Mom’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Regretfully, because it isn’t normal times, there will not be a memorial gathering. She will be laid to rest with her parents and grandparents.

For those desiring, donations may be mailed to the Port Dalhousie Lions Club at 201 Main Street, St. Catharines, ON L2N 4V9 and would be gratefully appreciated.
