Betty was born in Sant John, N.B. on March 13, 1946. After graduating from the Saint John Vocational School, she moved to Ontario where she worked in the Insurance industry for many years. She loved the outdoors where she spent numerous hours hiking and skydiving. She was an avid bookworm and enjoyed scrabble, crossword puzzles and cross-stitch.

She also volunteered with local youth groups and tutored young students. In her later years she moved to Halifax, N.S.
“There once was a little girl with a curl in the middle of her forehead and now she is soaring on the wings of an eagle to her loving heavenly Father. Do not weep, for I have gone to a place where the sun always shines. I only ask that whenever you see a sunset, think of me and smile”.
Cremation and Arrangements have been entrusted to A.L. Mattatall Funeral Home. In accordance with Betty’s wishes her ashes will be scattered in Hants County, N.S. – ancestral homeland of the Kilcups. There will be no visitation or funeral due to Covid-19. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
