In her earlier years, Betty spent numerous hours at the family bungalow in Northside East Bay and at the family grocery store on Union Street, Glace Bay. After graduation from St. Ann School she entered the School of Nursing at St. Joseph's Hospital and graduated as a registered nurse. She worked with St. Joseph's Hospital, the VON and was a Nursing Sister at Camp Hill Hospital, Halifax. For Betty and Leo family was extremely important; they encouraged their children to pursue an education and appreciate the great outdoors. An avid supporter of the Cape Breton School of Crafts, Betty became an artisan. Despite raising 7 children, Betty's talents shone as a knitter and rug hooker along with numerous other crafts. Mom was thrilled to be involved in stain glass and is recognized as one of the artists for the "Tree of Hope" stain glass window proudly displayed at the McConnell Library in Sydney. Mom shared her crafts in support of many community causes.
