Her services at doing housework for other people were in great demand. Her family was always important to her. Later on, she also enjoyed reading history books, doing some handicrafts and having tea with friends. Bessie attended the Riverside United Church. In 1998 she became a resident of the Southwood Nursing Home.
Bessie is survived by one son, Lorne (Margaret) of Hanna; one granddaughter, Anne (Randy) of Edmonton; four grandsons, John of Spruce Grove, Richard (Linda) of Trochu, Leonard (Cheryl) of Calgary, and George (Julia) of Fort McMurray; two great grandsons, Trevor and Jeff Karren both of Calgary and two great granddaughters, Karyn and Megan Rowe of Fort McMurray.
