Almond (nee Christian) Elizabeth (Betty) Joan 21/07/1930 – 06/03/2021.

Passed away suddenly in the caring hands of staff at Bertram House, Shepparton, aged 90 years.

Beloved wife and soulmate of William (Bill) Almond (dec). Loving, caring and supportive Mother and Mother-in-law of Patrick and Debbie, Danny and Colleen, Paul and Anne, Kathleen and Ian, Maureen, Michael and Usha, Maree and Michael and Christopher. Loved and very proud Nan to 29 Grandchildren and 38 Great Grandchildren.

A happy childhood was spent at the Doreen farm with your parents and siblings. You then shared a loving marriage and partnership with Bill and your growing family on the dairy farms at Willow Grove, Mernda and Merrigum. Then in later years kept house for Chris at Kaarimba.

You believed in the Lord and demonstrated in your living the strong values of Love, Understanding, Perseverance and Support. Always there for us, especially in times of need. A life spent working, caring, supporting and sacrificing for your children and wider family. We all shared many cherished moments with you and Dad – work had to be done but life was enjoyed.

Now reunited with Bill,

Forever in our Hearts.

Rest In Peace.
