Celebrating her 99th Birthday, Elizabeth (Betty) Barr McInerney (Cunningham) joined husband Harold Joseph McInerney (2003) and daughter Linda Joyce McInerney (1953) in heaven. Predeceased by her parents, William and Ellie Cunningham, sisters Evelyn Innes and Jean Allen.
Elizabeth leaves a legacy though her children, Elizabeth & Bill Fossen, Philip & Sue, Harold & Nancy, Deborah & Brian Burgess and William & Lori. Fourteen grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren in Canada with many nieces and nephews and their children in Canada and Scotland are a part of her clan. Born in Banchory, Scotland on February 19, 1921, Betty lived an ideal life in Scotland. Betty won the heart of Harold, a Canadian pilot with the R.A.F. during WWII and they arrived in Canada with 2 children, Elizabeth & Philip. Soon Linda, Harold, Deborah & William were born, making for a busy house. Being a confident, independent woman, Betty worked at McMaster University increasing her management roles and retired from the VON many years later. Travels with her husband, Harold, throughout Canada & the US, were interspersed with many trips to her home in Scotland. Mum is fondly remembered by the coffee group in Dundas, the Sackville Hill Senior Centre. London, Ontario’s Village of Glendale Crossing staff has shown love & affection for Mum for over 3 years. Their dedication and support enabled an easy transition to Mum’s new adventures in heaven with Harold, Linda and many family & friends.
