With great sadness, the family of Betty J. McIntosh (nee Anderson) announce her passing on Friday, October 19, 2018 at the age of 76 years. She passed away peacefully at the Sunnyside Adventist Care Home in Saskatoon, SK.

Betty was born in Indian Head, SK on February 4, 1942, but spent most of her life in Regina, SK. In 1961, she married her loving husband, Dan, and together they had 2 beautiful children, Daryl and Donna who she was devoted to throughout her life. She was a loving, dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Betty worked for many years and subsequently retired from the Government of Saskatchewan’s Department of Wildlife. Throughout her career, she made many great friends, who she continued to socialize with after her retirement. Betty enjoyed countless happy summer days with Dan and Donna at Rowan’s Ravine Provincial Park and later at their lake property at Island View Resort. Together they spent many enjoyable years with precious friends and family, hosting and participating in numerous happy hours, barbeques and games nights. Betty’s pride and joy was always her grandchildren. She loved spending time with them as they grew up, cheering them on in their hockey or basketball games, watching the dance recitals, getting excited about their Halloween costumes, or what to shop for, for their Christmas presents. Family dinners were always enjoyed by all, as Betty was a phenomenal cook. With meals usually ending with dessert consisting of Betty’s incredible lemon meringue pie. Throughout her life, Betty was always eager to help someone in need, a neighbor, a friend, a colleague or family. She never tired of giving of her time, a helping hand, or just a shoulder to lean on in hard times. She always cared deeply about the well being of others and approached life with kindness and enthusiasm and a wonderful sense of humour. Betty will be truly missed by those who had the pleasure of knowing her. The family would like to say a special thank you to the staff and management of Sunnyside Care Home in Saskatoon, for their excellent and compassionate care for Betty. Also, a special thank you to the Johns Family, owners of Meadow Edge Care Home in Lumsden, SK for their warm and friendly care home, when we most needed it.
