Betty Stafford of Riverview passed away at The Moncton Hospital on Monday, November 26, 2018. Born in Saint John, she was the daughter of the late J. Ernest and Dorothy (Holder) Scullion.

Betty was first and foremost a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She retired from nursing when she married the love of her life in 1962. She was a provincial bowler with the Riverview Royals and captained the Riverview Tigers. She also enjoyed knitting and baking and was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

She will be deeply missed by her loving husband, Bernard; sons Doug (Barbara) and Bruce (Chris) both of Riverview; grandchildren James (Ashley), Matthew (Katie), Stephen (Erica), Aaron, Sarah and Jared; her great-granddaughter Jaina; as well as several nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her brother Bill.

She loved nothing better than to laugh and joke with family and friends at family gatherings and was the life of the party and centre of attention. Everybody loved Mom (Nanny) and couldn’t wait to be in her company and enjoy her bubbly outlook and love.

Bernard is so thankful for the privilege of being in her companionship for 56 wonderful years.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Rd., Riverview, (869-2007). A funeral service will take place at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church on Friday, November 30, 2018 at 11:00am with Father Phil Mulligan officiating. Reception to follow. Donations made to the Oncology Department of The Moncton Hospital would be greatly appreciated by the family. Online condolences may be expressed to Bernard and the family at www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca
