John and family, Words feel so inadequate at this time. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will especially remember Betty Ann as a very strong lady with a wonderful sense of humour,a positive attitude and great love of family. Grandchildren especially brought her joy and many a conversation. Of the many memories and laughs we shared I believe reminding her that she was the fashion deva of Kitchigami Campground will always bring a smile. For sure the best dressed lady in the park, be it a beach day or a bike ride. Betty Ann will be missed.
