Elizabeth (Bette) Rosanna Bragg
January 19th, 1946 – May 5th, 2014

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great grandmother on May 5, 2014 at the Western Memorial Regional Hospital in Corner Brook. Born in Port aux Basques, on January 19, 1946, Bette was the oldest of six children. She was predeceased by her parents Wilfred and Patricia Gillam, brother in law Arthur Bragg, sisters in law Sheila Munden and Joan Bragg, and mother and father in law Nathan and Madeline Bragg. Left to mourn is her loving husband Nathan (Jr) of 47 years, two children Patti (Dana), and Vanessa (Richard) LeRiche, her four grandchildren and one great granddaughter who completely adored her—Bobbi (Loren), Morgan, Beth, Owen, and Jorja. Also left to mourn are her brothers and sisters Paul Gillam (Sandra), Lorna (Ben) Savery, David (Jocelyn) Gillam, Sharyn (Darryl) Ulrich and Derek (Paula) Gillam, and her brother and sisters in law Betty (Herb) Lee, Nelson Bragg (Bev), Philip Bragg, David Bragg, Wanda (Ivan) Clevett, Cathy (Paul) Murphy, Elaine (Geoff) Cook, Judy Bragg, and Lorne (Sylvia) Munden, as well as many treasured nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends. Bette had many great loves in life, first and foremost was her family. She loved spending time with her family and grandchildren who gave her a lot of joy in life. Bette loved a good game of cards, any social gathering, and her greatest love was doing taxes. Bette worked at the Scotia Bank for 35 years, retiring in 1999 and then joined BCJ Tax Centre where she helped many people doing what she loved. She was an active member of the Lioness as well as the Liberal Association. Bette loved to volunteer her time and spent many hours on the Hospital Foundation as well as many other organizations.
