We remember Betty Wilson-Eades with deep respect and gratitude. Betty was truly a trailblazer. In 1949, she became the first female Chartered Accountant in Ottawa, and later, from 1976 to 1987, the first female partner at Welch LLP. Her leadership, dedication, and expertise left an indelible mark on our firm and the profession.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Betty’s family and friends. Her legacy continues to inspire us all.
