The family of Elizabeth Ann “Betty” Brownell, would like to announce her peaceful passing at Battlefords District Care on Monday, November 3, 2025 at the age of 94 and a half years old.

Betty was born in Edam on June 6, 1931 to Warren and Agnes Brownell. She is predeceased by her parents; brother, Rae (Donald) and wife, Moreah Sheldon; sister, Joan and husband, frank Simpson; and brother-in-law, George Lessard. She is survived by sister, Dianne Lessard; brother, Jim and wife, Millie Brownell; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Betty attended school in Minnehaha until grade 8, when the family moved to Meota to operate a dairy farm. Upon completion of high school, she attended Normal School in Saskatoon and went on to teach elementary school for 35 years. Betty’s career took her to Saskatchewan, British Columbia, New Brunswick and she returned to Nipawin to complete her career. She returned to North Battleford in 1990 to assist with her parents’ care. Betty’s biggest regret was not fitting Newfoundland and Whitehorse into her travels. Betty did love traveling. She crossed Canada three time by car and twice by train and had so many stories about her adventures.

Betty was very active in the Royal Canadian Legion, holding many executive positions over the years. Other activities she enjoyed were softball, curling and golf and she always had a trusted poodle dog companion by her side.

A graveside service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Betty can be directed to Lung Saskatchewan, 2308 Arlington Ave, Saskatoon, SK S7J 3L3 or to the Battlefords District Care Centre, Box 69, Battleford, SK S0M 0E0.
