Obituary of Betty Lou Senicar

SENICAR – Betty Lou of Swift Current formerly of Glen Bain, passed away suddenly surrounded by family and song at the age of 85. Betty was born on the family farm near Hazenmore to William Norman and Elva Alice Myers, on September 28, 1930. She was one of their seven children. She attended school at Leicester, Harold and Hazenmore Schools. Betty enjoyed farm life, and loved playing and working alongside all of her siblings. She met the love of her life, Stanley Senicar, and they married on December 30, 1949. Together, they bought the Brandser farm near Glen Bain. Stanley and Betty were blessed with five children. They enjoyed socializing, music, farming, and playing cards. Betty was predeceased by her parents, her loving husband of 47 years, Stanley, her great grandchildren Jayden and Kierstyn Ofstie, her siblings Eliza, Bud, Lily, Roy, and Norman. She is survived by her children Cheryl (Lyle) Ofstie of Central Butte, their children Jeff, Shane (Shawna), their children Pacey, Ansen, and Keegan, Jarod (Carla) and their children Pfeifer and Finn; Val (Tim) Dickinson of Edmonton, their children Daniel (Jane), Matthew (Ashlyn), Alexander, Caitlin (Andrew); Dwayne (Kathy) Senicar of Glen Bain, Evan (Stephanie), Tylor, Lyndon, Stephen; Darrell (Sandra) Senicar of Glen Bain, Aaron (Jen), Mitchel (Michelle), Sawyer; Glenda (Derrick) Freitag of Sherwood Park, Jillian (Aric), Jessica, Jaxon.

Betty’s greatest joy was her family and we were blessed to celebrate our love of family at our annual family reunion last weekend. We are heartbroken to have lost Betty, but we know she is back in the loving arms of Stanley and surrounded by family once again.
