Bessie was a homemaker, who provided a loving home for her family. She loved spending time with them, especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed playing bingo and doing word search puzzles.

She was preceded in death by a son, John W. Amour Jr., a granddaughter Alyson Amour, four brothers, Harry, Daniel, Leon, and Robert Templeton, and four sisters, Ruth Pennell, Esther Smith, Marion Roberts, and Mary Bleecher.
For the past several years she was a resident of Masonic Village. Her family would like to thank the staff at Masonic Village for their compassionate and loving care, and Masonic Village Hospice for providing her with caring support in her final days.
