Elizabeth (Betty) Lois Schmit passed away peacefully on June 13, 2025, in Quesnel, British Columbia at the age of 93.

Betty was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Wisse. She grew up near Elrose, Saskatchewan, along with sisters Mary, Viola, Joyce and Doreen.

Betty graduated as a Registered Nurse in Moose Jaw and then pursued her nursing career in Davidson, Saskatchewan, where she met Joe Schmit, a young local farmer with a small plane. They married in 1955 and raised their family in Davidson while farming and flying.

Betty was predeceased by her husband Joe and son Gary, and is survived by children Patricia, Valerie, Kim, Doug and Tom.

Betty lived the last few years in Quesnel, British Columbia, and her thoughts were always with her family, despite the distance apart.

Betty was quick to establish friendships with many who met her. She will be lovingly remembered as one who was a genuine listener, an engaging conversationalist and at times a fierce debater. She was an artist, did beautiful needlepoint and knitted many cherished sweaters. We all had colourful mitts made with love by G’ma.

Betty will be missed immensely by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her influence throughout her life on those around her will live on.
