Elizabeth Katherine Martens was born on August 17, 1935 in Sexsmith, Alberta. Betty was recognized for her hard work ethic, her warm loving heart and cheerful smiles. She achieved happiness by helping people; she was presented a “Citizen of the Decade” award for her valuable contributions to the community. Betty will always be remembered for her years of service working for Westgate's IGA. This is where she loved to be serving and greeting local families; looking professional in her clean, crisp white uniform. Betty was a beautiful person, a positive role model for volunteerism and community participation. Betty will be missed tremendously by her many friends and loving family.
