MALO, Betty

MALO BETTY MALO (née Johnson) was born March 22, 1933 in Kindersley, Saskatchewan where she was the youngest of five children. Betty grew up on the family farm near Beadle and later moved into town, where she finished her schooling. Betty attended the Calgary General Hospital School of Nursing and graduated in 1954. While in Calgary she met Patrick and they were married in 1956, raising two daughters, Jillayne and Susan.
Betty and Pat moved to Lethbridge in 1981 due to Pat’s ill health and she was his caregiver for the next 20 years until he passed away in 2002. She also worked at the Lethbridge Auxiliary Hospital for seven years, until her retirement in 1988. Betty loved tennis and was an active member of the Lethbridge Tennis Club for 20 years, where she met many special friends. Betty also enjoyed painting, gardening, playing cribbage and bridge and visiting with her many friends. Her sense of humour and fun will be greatly missed.
Due to her deteriorating health, Betty elected to have Medical Assistance in Dying and passed away peacefully on January 12, 2024. She is survived by her daughters, Jillayne Malo (Glenn Muir) and Susan Malo (Bryan Sakamoto) and her grandsons, Carson and Clark (Anika) Muir.
At Betty’s request, no funeral service will be held.
