Obituary for Betty Kubinchak
Betty Rose Kubinchak passed away peacefully on May 29, 2021, at the age of 91 in Calgary, AB.
Betty was born on March 27, 1930, in Castor AB where she grew up on a farm along with her 5 brothers and 2 sisters. She graduated early from school at 16 and began a long career in the hospitality business, moving from Castor to Coronation where she married Harry John Kubinchak on August 19, 1950. Together they raised 5 children and owned and operated Town & Country Services Café and Garage until 1979, they then started up a landscaping business until Harry’s passing. Betty lived in a few different places over the years including Unity, Castor, Stettler, Red Deer, Olds, and Calgary. Ultimately, Coronation was always home to her which she mentioned often and with fondness.
Betty was hospitable, loved people and made friends wherever she went. She was extremely talented and crafty and could create anything with her hands. She was well known for her homemade pies and bread and was always up to trying out new things. Betty was quick witted and had an answer or comeback for every occasion and could make people laugh and draw close to her.
