Betty Reynolds, of King City, ON gently passed away on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Betty was the heart of a tight-knit family that included her late husband, Jim Reynolds, devoted daughters, Tara (Stephen) and Janice (Dave) and two beloved grandchildren, Kaitlin and Jamie. Predeceased by her parents Jessie (McGregor) Cameron and Alec McGregor. Dear sister of Alex and Mary McGregor, Robert and Mary McGregor, and Colin and Lynn McGregor. All members of her family were very important to Betty.
Betty’s life was a rich tapestry woven of love, laughter and a deep dedication to her family. Her infectious smile and ever positive attitude were her trademarks. She had an ability to find joy in everyday moments and had a gift for everyone around her to feel special.
Betty’s happiest moments were spent flying down a ski hill, enjoying time at the family cottage on Lake Baptiste, relaxing with a simple cup of tea and most of all, being with family and friends.
While the family is deeply saddened by her loss, we take great comfort in the many memories of a life well lived. For anyone that knew her, we know that memories of Betty’s great laugh, bright smile, kind heart and endless pride in her family will bring a smile to your face.

We are very sorry, Tara and family, to hear of the loss of your mother. Your mom’s athletic abilities for swimming and skiing up until the last couple of years were truly amazing. Our visits to your cottage and ours were always welcoming and friendly.
May she rest in peace

Janice and Tara, my deepest sympathies to you both. I have so many great memories from our childhood with your mother, always so kind and welcoming to your home and cottage. I remember her big smile and deep laugh- such a joy to be around. My mother has fond memories of her too, skiing together. We both send our sincere condolences to you and your families.

I am sad to learn that Betty has passed away. I have so many happy memories of her. She was a grand lady. I am thinking of all of you as you say your goodbyes.

Betty was the lock and key to a strong family unit and, as her nephew, the guardian of a door that seemed always open and welcoming — a real role model. To say she will be missed is an understatement. Condolences to Tara and Janice and their collective family. The world lost a good one.

Dear Tara, Janice, and Family,
We were deeply saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. We hold such fond memories—your parents’ warm hospitality during our visit to the cottage, and most of all, your mom’s infectious smile that lit up every moment. Those times were filled with joy, and we will always cherish them.
We feel fortunate to have seen your mom on different occasions over the years—she always brought warmth and a sense of fun wherever she was.
Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Tara,
We were so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. We have such warm memories of the time we all spent together at the cottage. One moment that still makes us smile is when your mom came over for dinner, cheerfully carrying her own gin and tonic—so full of character and charm. We also remember a lovely hike through the forest with her, and of course, the unforgettable boat ride.
Your mom’s joyful spirit left a lasting impression. Please know we are thinking of you all and sending our heartfelt condolences.
