Obituary of Betty Ure

Ure: Betty, a resident of Ridgetown. It is with extreme sadness that we advise of the untimely death of Betty at the age of 58, following a courageous 16 month battle with liver cancer. She is survived by her husband of 39 years, Allen and their 3 daughters, Krista and Stephen Shaw, Karen and Norm Lyons and Karolyn Ure and Kris Van Eerd. Missing their grandmother are her 4 grandchildren, Brandon and Allison Shaw and Lauryn and Ellis Lyons. Also surviving are her brothers Gerald Graves and John Iska, Larry and Sandy Hillman and one sister, Terry Graves. Betty was the daughter of the late George and Marie Graves and daughter-in-law of the late Mel and Rosa Ure. Betty was a proud former member of the Chatham Sweet Adelines Chorus and the London Sweet Adelines. She was a past warden and Sunday School Teacher of the Church of The Advent, Ridgetown and a past warden of the Parish of the Transfiguration. She became a guiding light in the Kiwanis Club of Ridgetown. Betty’s family would like to thank especially Dr. John Button and his office staff for their constant support and care of Betty. Special thanks to all of the nurses at CKHA 4th floor Medicine B and Betty’s guardian angel through the final 3 days, Lisa Ellis. We cannot express enough gratitude for the wonderful care given by Dr. Haddad in Chatham and Dr. Alam and Maureen Dorion at the Windsor Regional Cancer Clinic. The nurses in the Cancer Treatment area are some of the most wonderful people we met during this journey. Sandee Campbell has been the glue that helped us through this time with her home care and support whenever we needed her. We all know Betty’s love of flowers, but it was her wish that donations to the Ridgetown Kiwanis Foundation, the Windsor Regional Cancer Clinic, or the Church of The Advent, Ridgetown would be appreciated.
