Obituary for Mary Bertha "Beth" McWatters (Arsenault)
In Loving Memory of MARY BERTHA (BETH) MCWATTERS
It is with great sadness that the family of Beth McWatters announced her passing on Wednesday, October 6th at the age of 94. She will be missed by her son Paul (Tracy), daughter Mariann (Mick), Grandchildren Leah and Laura (Brian), Great Grandchildren Justin (Ashley), Shannon, Charlotte, and Great Great Grandchildren Krysten and Jordan. She is survived by two Sisters Marie (Elmer), Teresa (Keith) and one brother Donnie (Phyllis) and countless nieces and nephews across Canada. Beth was predeceased by her husband of 53 years Cline McWatters (2007).
Beth was born into a family of 13 children in Summerside PEI. She had 8 brothers and 4 sisters and they all stayed very close throughout their lives. Beth and Cline owned a furniture and decorating business in Streetsville, Mississauga where she worked as an interior decorator. Later she was a yoga and fitness instructor and volunteered with the Salvation Army. Together with her husband, they purchased a piece of land on South Beaver Lake in Minden in 1968 where they built a cottage. She enjoyed entertaining the many visitors and cottage neighbours that came by over the years. They spent their retirement years between the cottage and Clearwater, Florida. Beth lived at the Staanworth apartments in Minden for 16 years where she enjoyed bingo, music and socializing with her many friends. She loved to walk, swim, exercise and visit the cottage.
A private celebration of Beth’s life will be held at the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., P.O. Box 427, Minden, Ontario K0M 2K0. Since COVID rules apply, attendance will be limited to invitation only. The service will be live streamed and will be available to view on our website for one week following the service. The link for the service is in the Photos and Videos and will appear the day of the service at 1:00 pm.
Memorial Donations to the Haliburton Highlands Health Services Foundation – Hyland Crest Residents Council (HHHSF) or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
