It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Betty Riter on Thursday, September 4, 2025 at St. Boniface Hospital with her daughters at her side.

Mom was born and raised in Cartwright, Manitoba. She was married to Dennis Riter on May 26, 1973 they lived in Winnipeg, Warren, Balmoral and she moved to Stonewall after his passing.

Mom did many things in life, she made hockey suits for junior hockey teams, across Western Canada, she worked at Lord Selkirk High School and Lockport School as an Educational Assistant.

Mom’s pastimes were playing bingo with her friends, keeping us all up to date to all new shows, movies that were worth watching. She enjoyed going to the Speedway to watch the races, watching and attending curling events, watching football and hockey events. Playing cards and board games were a regular occurrence. Mom’s world resolved around her family. She loved nothing more than visits with her family or travelling to spend time with them. Those who came to meet her fell in love with her, she had a heart of gold and a cheeky attitude that made her the amazing person she was. She loved nothing more than to have a chit chat on the phone or in person.  Last few years she enjoyed traveling with family and Sandy. Jamaica River Boat Cruise from Paris to Swiss Alps and 3 day train ride in the Alps and this past May an Alaskan Cruise.

Predeceased by her husband Dennis, her parents Les and Emily Jamieson, daughter Twylia, son Troy, Sister Shirley, niece Connie, nephew Danny.

She will be sadly missed by daughters Lenore (Darcy), Shannon, Rachel (Dallas). Grandchildren Jaclyn (Andre), Charlyn (Jonah), Travis (Vikki), Colby (Michaela). Great grandchildren Jasper, Nixon and guardian Angel to great granddaughter Stella, whom she never got to meet. Her life-long friend Sandy. Her most beloved “fur” companion Bernie.

Mom is no longer with us but forever in our hearts, Love you Mom!!

Service of Remembrance will be held on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at 2:00 PM. at Quarry Park Heritage Arts Centre, Stonewall, Manitoba.
