LLOYD and ELIZABETH (BETTY) JESSEN On December 7, 2012, Betty passed away at the age of 80 and on February 9, 2013, Lloyd passed away at the age of 81. Together once again. Betty was predeceased by her parents and brother Bill. Lloyd was predeceased by his parents, brothers-in-law Jim McLaughlan and John Finlay. They are survived by daughters Leslie (John), Kathryn (Richard), Heather (Bert), their precious grandchildren Travis (Lindsay), Jason, Cory (Kathryn), Holly (Garrett), Brooke and great-grandchild Zachary. Betty's brother Blair (Nora) and Lloyd's sisters Bonnie and Helen. Betty was born in Mauchline, Scotland. After completing High School, Betty went on to Glasgow to take Hotel Management. At the age of 21, this adventurous young Scottish gal decided Canada was the place to be, packed her trunk and set sail. Lloyd was born in Sanford, attended Sanford Consolidated School. After graduating, Lloyd went on to the U. of M. where he received his Bachelor of Science in May of 1954 and took over the family farm in August of that year. Two years later, Lloyd and Betty met and married on November 24, 1956, beginning their life together and raising their family on the farm. Lloyd and Betty treasured many lifelong friendships and enjoyed being a part of the community of Sanford. November they celebrated 56 years together. Betty enjoyed cooking, sewing and knitting and always had a book at her side. Lloyd loved his yard, camping, CB radio, computer and volunteering at The Grace General Hospital and always sharing his great sense of humour. We thank all the wonderful people at The Victoria and St. Boniface Hospitals.

I was so shocked and sorry to see this obituary... they say that couples who truly love each other won't last long without the other. This is so true with Lloyd and Betty. We would love to hear from any of the 'girls,' it's been so long... - Posted by: Dave and Leona Sandison (Friends of the family) on: Jul 23, 2013

So sorry for the loss of both your parents. They were truly wonderful, down to earth people. Always enjoyed their visits to the dental office when they came to visit Heather. Also miss Lloyd's emails. Thinking of you all. - Posted by: Carol Dobson (friend) on: Feb 18, 2013

Our hearts go out to you: Leslie, Kathryn, and Heather, and to your families in the loss of your beloved mom and dad. My parents and yours, as you know, had been great friends through the years. My dad very much appreciated "Lloyd's Sunday-morning calls" after my folks moved to the West Coast. May fond memories sustain you and yours. - In Sympathy, Jim & Kathryn Patterson (nee McKay) - Posted by: Kathryn Patterson (Friend) on: Feb 15, 2013

We would like to send our sympathy to the family on the passing of your parents. As difficult as it is to lose them you can take comfort that they are together. Your father was a kind and caring man. It is an honor and pleasure to count myself among those who called him "friend". - Posted by: Joyce and Doug Livingston (friends) on: Feb 15, 2013

Leslie, John, Travis & Lindsay: We are so sorry to hear of your dad (grampa's) passing but know it is better that his suffering is over. The hardest part is always adjusting to the loss, but we can assure you from personal experience that the memories accumulated over time really help. We want you to know our prayers and best wishes are with you all at this time. Terry and Sharon - Posted by: Terry and Sharon O'Driscoll (Friend of the Family) on: Feb 15, 2013

Sorry to hear of the passing of both Betty and Lloyd. I didn't know them, but they were friends of my father, Bill Peckover. As I understand it, he introduced them all those many years ago. He always spoke highly of them. - Posted by: Glenn Peckover (Friend) on: Feb 14, 2013
