Passed away peacefully on February 19, 2025 at the Garry J. Armstrong Home in Ottawa, Ontario. Betty Finch (nee Jarman) of Ottawa Ontario, age 92, was the dearly beloved wife of the late Kenneth Finch for 67 years. Dear sister of the late Stan (MaryJane) Jarman, half-sister to the late Lily Jarman and Frederick Webdale-Jarman. Sister-in-law to Graham (Peggy) Finch, and June Boland (Gil). Betty was predeceased by her parents James Frederick and Mercier Gertrude Jarman (nee Murphy.) She is survived by nieces and nephews.
When no children arrived, Betty worked hard at and followed her dream of becoming a nurse, studying first at the University of Toronto and then studying again to complete her Masters of Nursing at McGill University in Montreal. Betty loved her work as a psychiatric nurse and taught nursing. Betty enjoyed singing and belonged to the Capital Chordettes (Ottawa) and volunteered to organize Neighbourhood Watch in the rural Metcalfe area. She will be remembered by her many friends and neighbours for her enduring positivity, and as a loving, caring friend.
