HUGHES: Betty Anne Hughes (née Miller), passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 22, 2019 at the age of 63 years. She was born on February 21, 1956 to Thomas Miller and Mary Dale. Betty grew up on a farm near Winnipegosis, Manitoba. Betty's early life on the farm was surrounded by love and laughter alongside her parents and seven other siblings.
