Bette Dellandrea

Bette Lynne Dellandrea (nee McLaren), previously known as Bette Bailey, passed away with family by her side at Hill House Hospice in Richmond Hill on Saturday, October 26, 2024, just short of her 85th birthday. She was born on November 13, 1939, to her late parents Howard and Hilda McLaren.

Bette grew up in Gravenhurst and attended Gravenhurst High School. After high school, she moved to Toronto to work for Bell Canada. She met her first husband and father of her children in Toronto and raised her family there. She returned to Gravenhurst later in life and retired there.

Bette was the beloved mother of Cynthia Bailey (Mark), Cheryl Anzellotti (Domenic), and Andrew Bailey (Aveeta). She was the proud grandmother of eight: Ryan Parton, Jamie Parton, Robert Anzellotti, Michael Anzellotti, Sarah Parton, David Anzellotti, Noah Bailey, and Alex Bailey. She also had the honour of welcoming four great-grandchildren into the world. Bette grew up with four siblings: Helen Fox (Gerry), Ken McLaren (Lois), David McLaren (Esther), and the late Jim McLaren.

A visitation and funeral service will be held at Cavill Funeral Home in Gravenhurst on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, with visitation from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm, and funeral service beginning at 2:00pm. If desired, memorial donations made to Hill House Hospice would be greatly appreciated by the family and may be arranged online, or through Cavill Funeral Home.

Let us honour a life well lived and may Bette Lynne Dellandrea rest in the loving arms of her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
