Price; Betty Margaret (nee. Ridler), PM #235

Betty, 97, passed away on December 23, 2025, at Bright Shore Hospital in Markdale, surrounded by her loving family.

Betty was born on February 7, 1928, in Erin Township, Ontario, one of 9 children born to Norman and Myrtle Ridler and raised on the family farm on the 7th Line.

Married to Gord in 1946, Betty dedicated her life to creating a warm and nurturing home for her husband of 62 years, and their six children in Toronto. Betty and Gord relocated to Markdale in 1989.

Betty’s unwavering faith guided her life and approach to motherhood. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her family and fostering a loving environment. Her brownies were legendary and holiday gatherings were eagerly anticipated by family and friends alike.

Betty was an avid sports fan, following the Blue Jays and curling to her final days. She was a proud life member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Good Will Chapter No. 235 and served as a Worthy Matron.

Betty was predeceased by her husband, Gord, eldest daughter, Linda Thompson (Ron) of Markdale, brothers Ken and Cliff, and sisters Joan and Gail. She will be greatly missed by her children, Lana Amaley (Jim) of Kitchener, Larry Price (Darlene) of Ottawa, Randy Price of Georgetown, Rodney Price of Markdale, and Robbin Warren of Etobicoke. Betty will be remembered by sisters Rita (Gordon), Donna (Brian), Pat (Donnie), and Barbara (Bob). She will be sadly missed by numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held at Jones Funeral Home, 11582 Trafalgar Road, on Friday May 29, 2026, from 10 – 11 a.m. Memorial service will be held in the chapel at 11 a.m. Following the service a reception will be held, and Betty will be laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery.
