Betty Anne (White) Roland

With sadness, we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, sister and friend Betty Anne (white) Roland on October 9, 2024 at Harbourview Hospital, Sydney Mines.  Born on March 16, 1945, Betty was the daughter of the late John and Gladys (Eveleigh) White.  She was a member of Carmen United Church where she sang in the choir and volunteered in church functions throughout her life.  Mom is well known for the many years she worked at the Bargain Store in Sydney Mines.  Her eye for fashion and pride in her appearance was evident.  No matter if she was running errands or attending a social event, mom was dressed up.  One of her favorite things to do was shopping and she especially loved when she would bump into friends while out and have the opportunity to chat and catch up on each others lives.   She was a very social person and immensely enjoyed being in the company of others.

Mom is survived by daughters Shannon (Greg Dugas) and Natasha, grandson Cody (Kendra) and great grandson Remi.  She is also survived by her sister Joan (Earl) Gracie and special niece Marlene Cantwell.  Mom is predeceased by her husband Bill; her parents John D and Gladys White; brothers Duncan, Cliff, Reg, George, and sisters Louise and Girlie.

Also left to mourn are her special friends who provided so much support and friendship throughout her last years Mary, Yvonne, Helen and Earl.

Special thank you to Dr. Dawn Brown, staff of 4 east at Northside General, Harbourview Adult Day Program and Harbourview DVA/LTC, especially Kim, John, Jodi, Susan, Maureen and Leah who were there through Moms final days.  Your compassion and care will always be remembered by her family.

A visitation will take place on Friday, Oct 18th, from 4-7 pm at JM Jobes Funeral Home; Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, Oct 19th, at 11 am at Carmen United Church, Sydney Mines, with Rev. Diane Kempt Officiation.
