Bette Arseneau (nee Archer), 83, of Moncton, passed away on Sunday April 2, 2023 at home. Born in Saint John, she was the daughter of the late Harry and Dorothy (Bell) Archer.

She is survived by two sons: Kirk (Angela) and Kevin (Nathalie); one grandchild, Laylen; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Douglas (2006); and five brothers: Gordon, Ken, Don, Bob, and Douglas.

Bette was always on the go – the term social butterfly might have been coined after her. Her generosity was immense – a cake baker for over 50 years, helping at her favourite weekly country club, and making sure everyone had a Christmas gift.  Her Christmas tree was her biggest joy and loved to show it off to everyone, which could be seen 365 days a year.

The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) on Monday April 10 from 2 to 4 pm only. There will be no funeral service. In memory of Bette, a contribution to PAW (People for Animal Wellbeing) or the Atlantic Wildlife Institute would be appreciated.
