Miss Betty Wilson, 1926 - 2024

Betty Wilson was the Ulster New Zealand Trust’s longest serving volunteer, esteemed committee member and a great supporter of all the Trust’s activities.   Betty was aged 98 years and her mother was a Ballance.

In 2019 Betty accepted the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service from Mrs Joan Christie, Lord Lieutenant for Co Antrim on behalf of the Trust. 

For years, Betty organised and ran the fund-raising tombola stall at our annual events and provided lovely snowdrop table decorations at the annual Waitangi Lunch.  She will be sadly missed by our team for her good nature and humour.
