Betty was born and raised in Dominion City, Manitoba, Betty came from a large family, where being one of the older sisters meant caring and supporting the family. At a very young age she learned the value of family and the importance of taking care of each other. On October 22, 1953 she married the love of her life Alfred Landry from Aubigny MB, who forever would be known to him as “Lover”. They spent the next 62 years building a life together raising four children while working the mixed farming operation with cattle, hogs and poultry.

Mom was a wonderful woman who loved cooking, gardening and was a crossword wizard. She was kind and loving to everyone she met.

Mom also was local news reporter writing the Aubigny News section for the Scratching River Post, and the Carillon News.
