PAGETT, Martha “Betty” Jean (nee McIlwain)

After a life well lived, Betty passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s at Fleming on Thursday, February 13, 2025 in her 94th year.  Beloved wife of the late Donald Pagett.  Loving mother of Don and his wife Theresa, Cheryl Wilson and her husband Drew and the late Greg Pagett.  Cherished grandmother of Kelly Dimytruk (Kevin), Jeff Pagett (Amy), Paul Pagett (Nicole), Adam Pagett (Sarah), Amy Pagett, Ben Wilson, Kate Wilson (Khalil) and great grandmother of Caden, Mya, Leah, Laci, Zach, Zoey, Hailey, Blake, Payton, Ryland, Kaylah, Paddy, Imaani and Arlo.  Mom was loving, kind and always there for her family. Dad and Mom enjoyed many wonderful years at their cottage on Koshabog Lake.  We were always welcome and many wonderful memories were made there.  Special among those memories were her amazing butter tarts. We will miss her dearly but we know she is happy to be together again with Dad and Greg. There will be a celebration of Betty’s Life held at the HIGHLAND PARK FUNERAL CENTRE, 2510 Bensfort Rd., Peterborough on Friday, February 21, 2025 at 10:00 AM.  Reception to follow.  Betty’s family would sincerely like to thank the staff at St. Joseph’s at Fleming for taking such great care of Mom over the past two years.  She told us everyday how well she was taken care of and how much she loved living there.
