Mrs Betty Toal – May she rest in peace

It is with a heavy heart and with great sadness we share the news of the death of Mrs Elizabeth (Betty) Toal. Betty was the oldest member of Bellshill Central Parish Church.

As we are all well aware Betty was and will always be a remarkable woman. She was deeply loved by many in Bellshill.

We remember her memory, her grace and dignity. We especially remember Colin and the family at this sad time.

Eternal rest, grant unto her, O LORD,
And let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace. Amen.
