Betty Galloway
April 5, 1951 – November 3, 2026
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Betty Lou Galloway at the age of 75 on November 3, 2026, at Royal University Hospital. Born in Saltcoats on April 5, 1951, to Murray and Lenora Smith, Betty was a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend who will live on in the lives of all those that loved her.
Betty is fondly remembered by her children Duane (Pam) Galloway, Suz Galloway; her 3 grandchildren Miranda (Brian), Chelsea (Michael), Kendra (Jonny) and great grandson Davian whom she was very proud of; Sister Sheila (Otto) Boettcher, Brother Gordon (Shirley) Smith, her beloved nieces and nephews, along with many other family and close friends.
Betty is predeceased by her loving husband Gerald Galloway, parents, Murray and Lenora Smith; sisters Gloria Young and Donna Smith; and brothers Roy Smith, Terry Smith and Donald Smith.
Betty was a social and outgoing person who enjoyed connecting with others and making people feel welcome in her home. She was a very hard worker, both in her businesses and professional life, and brought that same energy and dedication to everything she did. She was passionate about sports, with a love for curling, the Riders, and of course the Blue Jays! Betty enjoyed being involved in her community and sharing her love of the game coaching her daughter Suz in both ball and ringette. Betty had a special love for life at the lake, a peaceful boat ride or hotdogs on the fire were some of Bettys most favorite things to do.
Above all, Betty was a devoted wife and mother whose family was at the heart of her life. She also loved to travel, especially enjoying time with fellow snowbirds and hosting happy hours that brought people together for fun and games. Betty had a love for flowers and took pride in her flower gardens and decorating each of her homes to be beautiful, warm, and welcoming.
Betty will be remembered for her easy-going friendly nature, strong work ethic, love of life and the many friendships and memories she created along the way.
