GENT, Thelma Alice "Betty" - It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness, yet with a smile on our faces and a lifetime of great memories that we say goodbye, or "so long for now" to our amazing, much loved and admired Mom.
Peacefully in Peterborough Hospice after a short illness, on Thursday, July 16, 2020 at the "young" age of 96.
Predeceased by her dear husband of 50 years, Dave and survived by her six loving children Diane Grimshaw (late Phil), Gloria Goldin (John Halliday), Lou Anne Gent (Dave Turner), Cheryl Gent (Chris Holland), Barbara Waterhouse (Bill) and Ron Gent (Denise Bambrough).
Proud grandmother of 8, great-grandmother of 7 and great-great-grandmother of 1.
Predeceased by her brothers Bill and Jack. Lovingly remembered by beloved nieces, relatives and cherished friends. Our Mom lived a full and active life.
She thoroughly enjoyed her Rubidge Retirement Residence "family" and the many social activities.
She was a long time involved member of the Salvation Army where she actively gave back to her community. She will be forever missed by all who knew and loved her.
We are grateful to the staff at Rubidge Retirement Residence, her PSWs, Nurses, Peterborough Hospital, Peterborough Hospice and Doctor Shannon for their kindness and outstanding care.
A private Funeral Service will be held in Peterborough, with interment, in Toronto.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Salvation Army would be appreciated by her family.
