Elizabeth Lou Weiss

1. It is with sad hearts that we share the passing of our wonderful Mother, Elizabeth Lou Weiss (Miller), “Betty” on September 22, 2025. Mom lived for 100 beautiful, fun-filled, accomplished years and was thrilled when she received a personal message from King Charles, congratulating her on her 100th birthday!

Mom was born in Petersburg Township, North Dakota, on June 16, 1925, where she met her future husband at a school dance. They were married on May 13, 1946. Our Dad, Maurice (Buddy), passed away on May 1, 2014, after 68 years of marriage.

Mom and Dad shared their absolute love for one another and family, their devotion to their faith and their love of socializing with their many friends. Mom and Dad were amazing partners and worked tirelessly to raise their five children.

Many thanks to the staff at the Renaissance Residence and Mountain View Manor for the care and compassion that they showed to our Mom. A special thank you to Mom‘s friends, Cathy and Marion, who visited Mom regularly at the Renaissance and Mountain View Manor. Mom loved them and their visits and looked forward to crib games, laughs, sharing family stories. Mom and Dad were founding members of St. Nicholas Parish. They were instrumental in creating a Seniors Ministry at St. Nicholas that is still a vital and vibrant Ministry today. Mom was part of a Counting Team at St. Nicholas (counting the weekly collections) and amazingly, we are told, never used an adding machine! Mom was a dedicated and loving Mother, wife, business entrepreneur, cook, gardener, knitter, grandmother and great grandmother.

We miss her terribly….

A Funeral Mass for our beloved Mom will be celebrated on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at Saint Nicholas Church 20675 87th Ave., Langley, B.C. at 11 a.m. followed by a reception in the Pope Francis room at Saint Nicholas Church.
