It is with broken hearts that we
announce the passing of Roger and Betty
Boss. Roger and Betty Boss passed away only
moments apart, laying side by side in the Halifax Infirmary, on
Thursday, June 2, 2022.
Roger was born in Amherst, a son of
Theresa (Burke) Boss and the late Derrald Boss. Betty was
born in Amherst, NS, a daughter of the late Robert and Clara Margaret
(Dale) McKillop.
They both loved the radio, either Ham or
CB; Betty always did the Sunday Night Check-In (Eco
Charlie). Roger worked for many years at Sifto/Domtar Salt
Company. He enjoyed time on computers, and loved the
outdoors, always maintaining his property, or spending time in the
woods, hunting and fishing. Betty was a housewife.
She loved quilting, crafts, prepping family dinners, making pickles,
baking and cooking. Like Roger, she loved the outdoors and
could often be found out gardening when the weather was
fit.
Roger and Betty are survived by their
children Lisa, Fenwick, Craig, Fenwick, and Larry, Amherst;
grandchildren Parker, Trystan and Ahrianna. In addition to
his mother, Theresa of Amherst, Roger was also survived by sister Anne
Boss, Amherst. Betty was also survived by brothers David
(Sharon), Amherst, Robert (Debbie), Boundary Creek, NB, Bruce
(Shirley), Grand Prairie, AB, Douglas (Anne), Amherst, Kenneth
(Tanya), St. Thomas, ON and Ronald (Joanne), Amherst;
sisters Audrey Taylor, Amherst, Joyce (David) Carter, Brookdale,
NS.
They were predeceased by their brother
in law Richard Taylor.
