June 27, 1957 – January 12, 2025
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Betty Kump, on January 12, 2025. At 67 years of age, she lost her battle with cancer and was reunited with her late husband, Glen, who passed away in 2001.
She will be sadly missed by her 6 daughters Cheryl, Betty Anne (Samuel), Christine, Darlene (Russell), Ellen and Margaret (Rebecca); and her 12 grandchildren Eric, Austin, Mya, Jamie (Brett), Bobbie, Samantha, Alexis, Michael, Lance, Savannah, Mary and Clementine. She is also survived by her sisters Susan, Debbie (Mike), Mary (Lavern), Fran, Laurie (Gord), Joanna (Dennis); and Brothers Gary (Charlene), Danny (Kelly), Steven (Debrah) as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her mother Betty, her father John and her two brothers David and Mark.
Betty was born in St. Catherine’s, Ontario. As a child she was a very happy kid, always laughing and was super funny. She enjoyed climbing trees, playing outside, making mud pies and running barefoot in the rain. She also loved tobogganing and would often show her strength by pulling all her sisters up the hill.
She began traveling at 11 years of age, making her way through Ontario to Manitoba helping others and making friends throughout her journey. She moved many times but always considered Arborg, Manitoba her home where she made a life for her children. She would often be seen gardening, spending time with family and friends, and helping others as the need would arise. She will always be remembered for her kind heart, sense of humor and her will to never give up.
A service will be held on January 22, 2025 at 1 pm at Church of the Rock on 1397 Buffalo Pl, Winnipeg where we will share memories and say goodbye to an incredible mother and friend.
