Elizabeth Jane (Betty) von Borziskowski (nee Mitchell)

Born: August 14th, 1938

Passed on: January 28th, 2018

Our hearts are broken with the loss of Elizabeth Jane von Borziskowski, lovingly called Betty by her friends and family. Betty passed peacefully at the Miller Centre in St. John’s, Newfoundland on January 28 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Predeceased by her husband Bruno von Borziskowski, her parents Pearl and Raymond Mitchell, her brothers Bill and Frank Mitchell and sister Mae MacDougall. Betty was known for her love of animals, children and music, especially country music. She loved baking bread, puttering around in her garden and was a kind and caring person who lived her life to the fullest. Recently Betty struggled with several major illnesses and was helping her dear son with his own fight with cancer. She fought these battles head-on until her body was just too weak to carry on. Left to mourn with loving, fun and very happy memories and deep sadness are her son Curtis von Borziskowski; daughters Renate (Barry) Efford and Erika (Scott) Osmond; granddaughters Lesleigh (Mark) von Borziskowski Dyke and Ellie Osmond; grandson Dylan Dyke; sister Margaret Biggar; brother Clifford (Esther) Mitchell; sister-in-law Ruby Mitchell; nieces and nephews and a very large circle of family and friends. A service for her family will take place at 11 am on February 1 at Barrett’s Funeral Home, 328 Hamiltion Ave., in St. John’s. A celebration of Betty’s life will also take place at a later date in Gander with her friends and family in Gander. To leave a message of condolence, please visit www.barretts.ca. Donations in Betty’s memory may be made to Daffodil Place, the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.
