Betty Wanley (24 Jul 1947 - 21 Oct 2018)
In loving memory of Betty Wanley who sadly passed away on 21st October 2018 aged 71 years
Betty (affectionately known as Bett) was born Betty Glenn in Coventry to parents Albert and Betty. She grew up alongside 3 brothers (Len, John and Fella) and 2 sisters (Joan and Claire). The family resided in Coventry and it was here that Bett met John.
Bett and John married in 1967 and Betty became Betty Wanley. The newlyweds set up home in Coventry and a few years later had their first child Amanda. They then moved to Braunston and then settled in Rugby after finding their perfect home that they shared the rest of her life in. Shortly after moving to Rugby they had their second child Andrew, making their family unit complete.
In 1989, a year after her daughter married, Bett was first diagnosed with breast cancer. Although this was a huge blow to her, she remained positive as she told those around her that she had lots to live for. In particular she loved spending as much time as possible with her steadily growing number of grandchildren, and this year her first great grandchild.
Over the years Bett continued to fight, beating her illness, only to see it resurface on 3 more occasions. But she always had some goal to look toward to in her life. As well as spending time with her family, she and John enjoyed playing badminton, indoor bowling and gardening. She also loved spending holidays along the coasts of the British Isles, which she did with her husband, her children and her grandchildren. One of her latest goals was to spend her 50th wedding anniversary in Weymouth, a place that Bett and John loved to visit, where she was spoilt by her daughter and son-in-law.
29 years later sadly Bett lost her long fight but not before she fulfilled many of her dreams. Bett will be missed greatly by her husband John, daughter Amanda, son-in-law Barlow, grandchildren Chomice, Bernice, Kurtis, Dahmicca, Chrysti-Anne, Troy and her great granddaughter Amara. Bett was kind, loving, friendly and loyal and will also be missed by her sisters and brothers and their families as well as her many close friends.

My heart and thoughts are with you all. I cannot be there tomorrow but I shall be going to our local church in Fleurbaix, France to light a candle with my wife Stéphanie and my three children, Noah, Arthur & Ruby.
My Aunt Bett will always have a very special place in my heart and nothing will ever change that. It seems like a common thing to say that she was a truly special person, but in her case she really was. I felt compelled to write a small poem.
The sun as it sets spills colours across the sky
An endless sea of light beginning to run dry
A crawling darkness spreads its giant vine
With scattered tears that ebb and shine
Such vast beauty cannot be claimed by void of night
The sun is not departed it has only taken flight
While with a deafening obscurity our senses fill
The nightfall wind imports a biting chill
Yet somewhere beyond the horizon on the other side
Another world is waking to glorious sunrise
An endless sea of light is beginning to scatter
The all-encompassing night will give way and shatter
Such vast beauty cannot be claimed by void of night
The sun is not departed it has only taken flight
It will travel back and fill our world again upon tomorrows tide
Today it is somewhere beyond the horizon on the other side
