She passed away on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the age of 87, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Born on August 26, 1939, Betty was the beloved oldest daughter of the late Ron and Ruth McDonald. She now reunites in eternal peace with her sister Joannie and brother-in-law Tony Grazulis, as well as her much-loved partner, Leonard Pascall.
Betty will be forever cherished by her loving children Shane Pascall (Maria), Cindy Beaucage, Caroline Tilus (Peter), and Nicki Rutledge (Brian). She will be dearly missed by her treasured grandchildren Derrick Pascall (Amber), Corey Pascall (Melanie), Matthew Beaucage (Amanda), Amy Fayrick (Dylan), Kelti Beaucage (Alex), William Tilus (Destiny), and Nathan and Sam Rutledge. She also leaves behind eleven adored great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy. Betty was the kind and loving Aunt of Dan Dunn (Sherry), Carol Dunn (Richard), Ronnie Dunn (Larissa), and Shawn Dunn, along with several great-nieces and great-nephews.
She was family by God’s design loving, faithful, and woven into the heart of Roxanne, and Gloria.
In this time of grief, let us remember Betty for her tender heart, her gentle spirit, and the quiet strength she carried throughout her life. She will forever hold a special place in our thoughts.
