Elizabeth Specht

The family of Elizabeth (Betty) Specht is saddened to announce her death. Betty passed away at the Stony Plain Care Centre. Betty was born in Gosforth, England and immigrated to Clandonald, AB when she was a small child. She met Bill and married in the forties. They operated a garage and then grocery store in Clandonald, moving after their store burned down. They briefly lived in Onoway, and finally moved to Wabamun where they operated the grocery store until their retirement. Betty enjoyed being with her family, gardening, her cats, making all sorts of things, and the occasional glass of Royal Red.

Betty is survived by her children: Carol, Joe (Wallis), Gerard (Lynda), Eva, Herb (Vicki), Owen (Annette), Ed (Shauna), Angela, and Peter, as well as 22 grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren. She is predeceased by her husband William, daughter Patricia, son Adrian, and son in law Lawrence.

The family would like to thank the caregivers at the Stony Plain Care Centre and Dr. Fuchs for their compassionate and caring work with mom.

Betty requested there be no public service. In lieu of flowers,

donations can be made in Betty’s name to the Stony Plain Care Centre, or the Wabamun and District Museum.
