After a short illness, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Betty Stark, beloved mother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to all of those she touched.
She passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family.
She leaves to mourn her passing, her loving husband of 65 years, William, son, Alan, daughter, Anne and their respective families, brother and sisters in Scotland, sister in Australia, and their respective families.
Born in Muirhead, Scotland, Betty emigrated to Canada with her husband, Bill, and daughter, Anne, in 1966.
Education of young minds was Betty's lifelong passion, culminating in teaching special needs children.
Her knowledge and enthusiasm for literature, lead to her becoming a school librarian, which was a favorite part of her career.
She also reviewed books for CBC Northern.
Creative craftmaking of toys for charity, was yet another facet of her generosity and love for children.
She lived every day of her life to the fullest, having great inner strength, and much compassion for others.
Special thanks to the group of doctors in Mill Bay Medical Centre and to all of the wonderful home support workers and home care nurses of the Cowichan South Group. Private family celebrations of her life will be held in Canada, the UK, and Australia.

KAREN HENNESSEY (Nee Holland)
December 31st, 1965 - November 7, 2006
When we look to the heavens above,
Somehow we feel you near.
We think of how much we love you,
And to us still so dear.
You were an angel sent to earth
To fill our hearts with love
A Forever Kind of Angel
Sent from heaven above.
We didn't know you'd leave so soon
That God for you would send.
An angel would hold you in His arms,
And heaven with you ascend.
Uncomplaining and courageous,
You smiled through all the tears.
So much faith and understanding,
Proclaimed throughout the years.
We're thankful for the time we had
For time we'll have again.
Together we will be once more
But only God knows when.
Until we see you once again,
We'll hold you in our hearts
The sweet memories of our angel,
From us will never part. You were an outstanding daughter, wife, mother, sister and aunty, we miss you so much. Happy Birthday!
Love Mom, Dad, Bob, Tam, Brock, Brandon, Keith, Brianne, Jennifer, Scott, Robert, Ron, Russ, Gail and many more family & friends.
