HENO: July 15, 1915 - July 15, 2014 Elizabeth (Betty). It is with deep sadness that the family of Betty Heno announce her death on July 15, 2014 at Battlefords Union Hospital. Betty was born in Gadsby, England on July 15, 1915. Her family emigrated to Canada when she was 9 years old, settling a homestead on the banks of Murray Lake. Today this land bears their name, Hamlet of Summerfield Beach. Betty and her late husband, Bill, operated a successful outfitting business on Murray Lake, Cochin for many years where they were a mainstay of the community. As a pioneer of the district, Betty will be remembered for her welcoming people for coffee at 10 and tea at 3, always accompanied with her tasty baking. Her creative side was well known for her knitting, crocheting, needlework, and embroidery. Her love of gardening was on display for all to see as she maintained her property beautifully; encouraging bird life with her bird houses, feeding stations, and flowers. Betty was predeceased by her parents, John and Florence Summerfield, her husband, Bill, sister, Nancy, and brothers, Harold (Florence) and Frank, and nephew-in-law, Gary Sturm. She is survived by her daughters, Barbara, Marilynne and Barry Earl, niece, Gwen Sturm, nephew, Jack Summerfield (Frances) and her faithful "little man," Miki. Betty is also survived by many close friends who helped her continue to live in her own home until her death, notably Ray Day and his family, and Stan Landry. The family gratefully acknowledges the care and consideration given to Betty and family from Dr. Lipsett and the staff of Battlefords Union Hospital. A Service of Celebration of Betty's life was held on Thursday, July 17, 2014 from Battlefords Funeral Service. Donations in Betty's memory are requested to The Humane Society, Box 645, North Battleford, SK S9A 2S7. ____________________________________________________
