Hay has also been highly involved with most other Russell organizations in one po- sition or another for most of her life. She has been recognized by the Township of Russell as a community hero, by the Lions as a local champion, and by other organizations for her many contributions. When Russell Meadows retirement res- idence opened she was in her eighties but took on the job of president of the Duncan- ville Residents Association condominium board. Hay has resigned from that post. It has been taken over by Jean Gri#n.
it was time to be closer to family and to a new great-great grandchild. Hay was the daughter of Ken Boyd and Laura MacArthur and spouse of the late Don Hay. She farmed with her husband and also taught school in Russell, North Russell and Felton. Several former students attended her farewell. Hay enjoys being involved in all aspects of improving her community. Her brother Keith is whom the Keith Boyd Museum in Russell is named after, and when he and others started the Russell Historical Society he quickly drafted his sister Betty to help and she has been an active member since.

Le maire Jean-Paul St. Pierre avait tout préparé. A"n de rendre hommage au cadet et à la doyenne du groupe de travail de son équipe politique, il allait leur remettre une photo souvenir. Le 26 octobre dernier, à Russell, le lendemain des funérailles deM. St. Pierre, c’est son organisateur politique, Doug Anthony, qui a distribué ces souvenirs, en présence de la femme de M. St. Pierre, Jocelyn, et de plusieurs personnes de son équipe. Ainsi, sa grande admiratrice et doyenne, Madeleine Bourbonnais, Nicolas Daoust, le plus jeune du groupe, et la sœur de M. St. Pierre, Lorraine Beaudin, sont rentrés chez eux avec ce souvenir cher à leurs yeux. On les voit, ici, en compagnie de Jocelyn St. Pierre (troisième en partant de la gauche).

Our War Amps key tag did its job when our keys were returned to us last week by courier, much to our relief.” –War Amps supporter The Key Tag Service – it’s free and it works. Nearly 14,000 sets of lost keys are returned every year.
