Obituary for Jean Swenson (Fonstad)
Jean Swenson, formerly of Estevan, SK passed away at Mainprize Manor & Health Centre, Midale, SK on Sunday, July 27, 2014 at the age of 95 years.
Jean was born on June 27, 1919 on the homestead farm south of Torquay, SK to Simon and Olga Fonstad.
Jean married Emil Swenson on September 29, 1942 and moved to Midale where Dad farmed and Mom opened up Jean’s Beauty Shop in their home. Beside her hairdressing, she worked alongside Emil with the insurance business and farming. Mom was very active in the church making blankets and quilts for those in need and continued sewing quilts until the time she was hospitalized this year. She was very active in the Souris Valley Antique Association and was curator for many years and also helped serve the first lunches out of a tent trailer. She had a gift of hospitality, the coffee pot was always on and you were always welcome.
Jean's memory will be forever cherished by her sons, Kenneth (Barbara) Swenson of Midale, Robert (Diane) Swenson of Calgary, AB and David (Wendy) Swenson of Nampa, AB; grandchildren, Currie (Kathy) Swenson of Midale, Jaelynn (Ron) Hoium of Midale, Tammy (Cory) Swedburg of Cochrane, AB, Lonnie Swenson of Seattle, WA, Curtis (Lana) Swenson of Valleyview, AB and Chris Swenson of Edmonton, AB; great grandchildren, Keegan Schindel (Kaitlin) of Midale, Logan Schindel of Midale, Ryan Swenson, Rylie Swenson and Keisha Swenson, all of Midale, Stephen (Mya) Swedburg, Jessica Swedburg, Taylor Swedburg and Robert Swedburg, all of Cochrane, AB, Colton and Blake Swenson of Valleyview, AB; sister Agnes (Lyle) Peterman of Olds, AB; brother-in-law Peter Miiller of Estevan; sister-in-law Joyce Fonstad of Estevan, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents, Simon and Olga Fonstad; husband Emil Swenson; brothers, Selmer (Dorothy) Fonstad and Martin Fonstad; sisters, Carol (Norman) Mossing and Kathleen Miiller.
