Elizabeth “Betty” Misener
MISENER, ELIZABETH HELEN “BETTY” - Much to the sadness of family and friends, Betty Misener, 90, of Hampton, NB, widow of H. Maxwell “Max” Misener, passed away February 6, 2012 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Saint John. She was born in St. Catharines, ON, daughter of the late Lancelot and Theodora (Wigg) Overholt. Betty, widely known for her bright and infectious smile, cheery outlook, compassion and intelligence, enjoyed a wide circle of friends and a social life that brought her pleasure every day. She also took great joy in her garden, the birds at her feeders and reading the latest novel. Ever the loving mother, time spent with her daughters – paddling on the river, shopping, the exchanging of books and the long phone calls – was a highlight for Betty, who was also always willing and able to debate with her sons-in-law over social issues and politics. During the Air Force career of her beloved Max, Betty lived in cities from P.E.I. to Saskatchewan before settling in Hampton in 1972. During her younger years, Betty, always active in her community, was a volunteer for both the Red Cross and Hampton’s food bank. She was also a longtime, cherished member of the Hampton United Church and its U.C.W., and more recently, the Hampton Seniors Resource Centre. She was also a member of the Ossekeag Singers, some of whom sang at Betty’s widely-attended 90th birthday celebration in June. She is survived by four daughters, Nancy Misener (David Heard) of White Rock, BC, Victoria Robinson (Ron) of Toronto, ON, Jenny Misener-Davidson (Terry) of Toronto, ON, Melinda Misener (Joel Wiseman) of Kelowna, BC; son-in-law, Albert Roche of Carleton Place, ON ; grandchildren, Sarah, Elliot, Lauren, Matthew, Elizabeth and Theodore; many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her eldest daughter, Beverly Roche. Betty’s family would like to thank the extramural nurses who, in recent years, enabled her to stay in the home she loved, as well as the caring staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital when she could not.
Visitation will take place at Reid’s Funeral Home (832-5541), 1063 Main Street, Hampton, on Monday, February 27, 2012 from 2 to 4pm and 6 to 8pm. The funeral will be held 11:00am, Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at Hampton United Church. A reception will follow in the church hall. Interment will take place in Maple Lawn Cemetery, Louth, ON at a later date. Memorials may be made to Hampton United Church or a charity of your choice.

I'll miss you, Grandma
“Dear Grandma,
Thank you for all the wonderful memories you have given me from my youth. My fondest memory is of you, Grandpa, Nancy, and I picking blueberries together. I remember being really proud of myself that I could keep up with Grandpa's fast walking pace! I also remember having a lot of fun going to White Spot for milk shakes, just the two of us. You were a wonderful grandmother and I'll miss you so much.
Love always,
Elliot” -
“With deep gratitude, I send my love and appreciation to my devoted younger sisters and to the community of Hampton who all worked together to support and encourage our mom's independence, and thus enabled her to live such a full and joyful life to the very end of her days. I'm so grateful to have been present this past summer to celebrate her ninetieth birthday, in a fashion fit for a queen. Now I understand why she chose to make hampton her final home. My spirit joins you in celebrating the amazing life of the woman we call Mommy”

“I've known Betty for more than 30 years and have always been impressed by her positive attitude. Even near the end she would be counting her blessings not her woes. How much willing help was at hand, how generous her friends and neighbours are. Her wonderful daughters, her loving family and having Max for a husband. She met her afflictions with grace and courage and I admire her hugely.”

Deepest sympathies.
“I will miss Elizabeth a great deal, but I am happy to think she is now with her Max; she missed him so very much. Lovely, deceptively delicate woman with an amazing appetite for life and all of the pleasures it could bring. I enjoyed her company very much and never ceased to be amazed by her strength. I will never forget her wit and the laughter we shared.”
