1933 - 2017

Betty Bourassa, beloved wife of Henry Bourassa, quietly passed away in Taber with family by her side on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at the age of 83 years.

 A private celebration of Betty's life was held.

 Betty is survived by her best friend and husband Henry, daughter Gay (Ken) Jensen of Cardston, son Kim Bourassa of Lethbridge and daughter Sharon (Lou) Tams of Taber; eight grandchildren Jody (Ben) Nish, Wade (Sue) Jensen, Megan (Sal) Quinonez, Murray Bourassa, Chris Tams (Emalea Materi), Brandon (Lauren) Tams, Amanda (Travus) Valgardson and Matthew Tams as well as sixteen great grandchildren.

 She was predeceased by her grandson Travis Henry David Bourassa. 

 Betty  was a woman full of laughter and kindness. Her husband and family were the most important things in her life, and she loved us all so much. Betty loved to play crib and was lucky enough to get a “twenty nine” hand. Mom enjoyed crosswords, crocheting and a good practical joke. We all looked forward to our phone call on our birthdays where she sang to us “Happy Birthday”. She loved to travel with dad and they spent many happy times together on their adventures, never having to have the radio on in the car, as they always had lots to talk about. They truly were best friends and the love they shared was apparent to all. They were a great example to all the family of what a marriage should be. It was hard for her to leave dad, but we know she will wait patiently for him, so they can be together again.

 If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Betty’s name may be made directly the charity of one’s choice.
