Amherst, NS – It is with great sadness that the family of Betty Ann Williams, age 66, announce her passing at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre on December 15, 2010 after a short but courageous battle with Cancer. Born in Amherst on November 17, 1944, Betty was the daughter of late Howard Henry Lee and Grace Eliza (Hoeg) Lee.

 In addition to being a daughter, sister, wife and mother, Betty was a former employee of the Saint John Sugar Refinery, the Amherst School for the Deaf and the Drury Lane Steakhouse in Fort Beausejour, NB.  She was an avid card player, loved the beach and camping in her younger days.  She was also fondly known as “Aunt Bette” to many of the children in the neighbourhood in which she lived for the past 40 years.

Betty is survived by her husband of 44 years, Eugene Williams of Amherst; two daughters, Roxann and Shawn Williams, both of Amherst; mother, Grace Lee, formerly of Amherst; brother Howard (Anne) Lee of Mission, BC; sister Kathy "Kim" (Wayne) Hicks of Wood Point, NB; sister-in-law Heather (Alex) Thomas of Halifax, NS. She was a grandmother to Melissa Duguay, of Amherst, and a great grandmother to Cassidy and Parker Dwyer also of Amherst. She was was an Aunt, Great Aunt and Great Great Aunt to numerous nieces and nephews in Amherst NS, Halifax NS, Mission BC, Amherstburg and Windsor ON.

Besides her father, Betty was predeceased by her sister Barbara Ann (Lee) Bree, nephew Howard John Bree, and brothers-in-law Dana Williams and Beverly Williams.

Cremation has taken place under the care of Furlong-Jones Funeral Home, 70 Church Street, Amherst, (902-667-8777). There will be no visitation by her own request. A graveside service will be held in the Amherst Cemetery at a later date.

The family wishes to express their sincere thank you to Dr. Akinson and the nurses of the Pallative Care Team at the CRHCC.
