June 28, 1940 - December 30, 2024
In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness that we share that Elizabeth (Betty) Margaret Wood has passed away. A beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend on December 30, 2024 at the age of 84. Betty was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan but chose to live out the better part of her life in Parksville where she raised her children and met two of her life-long friends, Mary and Greta, with whom she shared countless memories, laughter, and support throughout the years. She lived life on her own terms and found peace and enjoyment in being an artist, gardening and fishing in her boat in her younger years.
She is survived by her four children, Debora Stark (Daryl), Danny Wood (Bonnie), Deanne Dieleman (Rod), and Glenn Wood (Heather), as well as siblings Lyne Marshall, Val Dunn, Donna McLeod (Rick), Eddie Ballendine (Gina), Danny Ballendine (Tammy), Gary Ballendine (Terri), Tim Ballendine, many nieces and nephews, nine grandchildren, and thirteen great grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her mother and father Edward Collin Ballendine, Margaret Jean Ballendine, sisters Colleen Klughart, Bonnie Jefferson, Joan Nelson (Dave), and one great grand child, Hadley Stark.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to Dr. Brad Bell, Dr. Hunter and the compassionate team at Hospice in Parksville, whose care and support made her final days more comfortable.
A Celebration of Betty's life will be held on June 28, 2025 at Foster Park in Parksville at Noon where family and friends will gather to honour her memory.
