She immigrated to Canada as a war bride in 1946. She was predeceased by her husband, Clarence "Nib" Gammon (2008), her brother Jack, sisters Pat, Vera and Jean, and grandson Glenn.

She taught music lessons privately in her home and was affiliated with the Bathurst Music Festival during those years. At various times in her life, she was a member of the IODE, the Royal Canadian Legion, the War Brides Association and the Bathurst Curling Club. She enjoyed playing bridge and a good game of Scrabble. She particularly enjoyed summers at the family cottage at Youghall Beach. She attended St. George's Anglican Church, where she had been a member of the Altar Guild. Her family would especially like to thank the caring and supportive doctors and staff of the Dialysis Unit at the Chaleur Regional Hospital where Betty underwent treatment for almost 9 years.
