Obituary of Betty Jean Swan

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Betty Jean Swan, who left us on February 22, 2026, after a short but courageous battle with cancer.

She was a woman of fierce love and unwavering enthusiasm. Her presence brought light to every room, and she loved her family with her whole heart. Her warmth and vibrant spirit will be remembered always.

She leaves behind her beloved sons, Joshua Stacey and Michael Stacey (affectionately nicknamed “Sam” by her), who were the centre of her world. She will also be dearly missed by her daughter-in-law, Leanne (née Erb).

Her greatest joy was being Nana to her cherished grandchildren, Raegan and Brady. She adored them beyond measure and took immense pride in everything they did.

Though gone too soon, she leaves behind a lifetime of treasured memories. Her family finds comfort in one of her favourite sayings:

“Don’t be sad it’s over. Just be glad it happened.” — Dr. Seuss

She is lovingly remembered by her siblings, Richard (Wendy) Swan, Dennis Swan, and Patricia Pearson.

She was predeceased by her parents, Samuel and Blanche (Betty) Swan, and by her siblings, David Swan, Sandra Damen, and Cheryl Heimgartner.

An intimate graveside ceremony will be held at a later date.

Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
