LADBROOKE, Betty (née LOVELUCK) Peacefully at Longworth Long Term Care on Tuesday, September 13th, 2005, Betty in her 85th year, beloved wife of Allen LADBROOKE for 59 years and friend for 80 years. Loving mother of Jane (and husband Roy LUCAS) and proud grandmother of Mark and James. She was predeceased by parents Tom and Anne LOVELUCK of Bridgend, Wales. Betty served in the A.T.S., attached to the Royal Corps of Signals as a wireless operator from 1942-46 in Southwest England. She loved amateur dramatics and was a member of the Wells (Somerset) Operatic Society. After emigrating to Canada in 1956, the family made their home in Peterborough. Betty continued her interest in amateur drama, drove patients for the Cancer Clinic and became Division Commissioner for the Girl Guides of Canada. In 1967, Betty and Allen moved to London, where she was an enthusiastic member of the Orchestra London Volunteer Committee and served as President of the local chapter of the Professional Engineers Wives' Association. Betty and Allen's travel adventures together began with camping in Canada and the U.S. and progressed into many overseas trips. Her favourites were the cruises. The family sincerely thanks the dedicated staff and gratefully acknowledges the exceptional and loving care given to Betty at Longworth Long Term Care over the last eighteen months. Finally, our thanks to a very special person, Sharon CALVERT, whose support has been treasured. Cremation has taken place at Betty's request. A memorial service will be held at St. Anne's Anglican Church in Byron at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 17, 2005. Reverend Rachael WALKER will officiate.
