TRAKAS, Elizabeth (Betry) (nee RISEBROUGH) - Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 17, 2018 after a courageous fight with cancer.
Born in Port Perry, December 6, 1938, Betty moved to Toronto to pursue a teaching career.
She met and married Michael Trakas (deceased 2010).
They moved to Aurora in 1972 with their daughters Allaurien (Cousins) and Mary (Ridgley) and Betty became an active member of Trinity Anglican Church.
Betty and Mike retired to Elliot Lake near Allaurien, her husband Peter and her grandchildren Devlin and Kineta, who became her passion and joy.
A member of St. Peter the Apostle Anglican Church, Betty taught Sunday school, was a member of the women's and altar guilds and served as people's warden. Betty became actively involved in the welfare of her community and served as President of the Elliot Lake Emergency Food Bank for many years. Betty was an inspiration and support to so many throughout her life.
As a wife, mother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and most proudly a grandmother, she worked tirelessly for the good of others. Her sage advice, wit and wisdom will be missed but treasured by all those who were so blessed to have had Betty in their lives.
A Celebration of Betty's Life will take place at St. Peter the Apostle Anglican Church in Elliot Lake on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at 1 p.m. and at Trinity Anglican Church in Aurora on Saturday, November 24, 2018 at 1 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Elliot Lake Emergency Food Bank or St. Peter the Apostle Anglican Church directly or through CanadaHelps.org.
