Elizabeth Marie (Hallinan) Kane

Elizabeth Marie “Bettymarie” Hallinan Kane, 75, of Wallace passed from this earthly life to her eternal rest on Friday, January 24, 2025.

She was born on February 5, 1949, in Hudson County, New Jersey to the late John T. and Mary Meany Hallinan.

Mrs. Kane was a member of Transfiguration Catholic Church in Wallace, NC.

Surviving to cherish her memory is her devoted husband of 55 years Barry Kane of the home; their children Timothy Kane of Culpeper, VA, Lisa Gardner and husband Brian of Ashburn, VA and Amanda Kane and husband Eric Oyan of Washington, DC; grandchildren Xavier Kane, Sathara Kane, Molly Gardner and Finn Gardner; and family and friends.  

Bettymarie was a dedicated wife who was passionate about the family she built with her loving husband.  She followed her kids and grandkids in their academics, sports, and careers with great pride.  She was a constant presence in the stands or an easy phone call away, cheering them on in all their pursuits.  When not with her kids and grandkids, she loved attending concerts and Broadway shows.  She also connected with her community and friends through Bridge, Euchre, Mahjong, and needlepoint.  Bettymarie loved traveling all over the world with Barry, including U.S. National Parks, Alaska, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, creating wonderful memories along the way. Bettymarie will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
