Betty Ann Swenson

Betty Ann Swenson, age 90, of rural Evansville passed away at her home on Friday evening, September 9, 2022. Betty was born on October 18, 1931 on her family’s home farm in the Town of Center, Rock County, the daughter of William and Helen Fenrick. She lived her entire life on the family farm where she was born, only moving from house number one to house number two when she married and where she raised her family.

Betty met Lloyd D. Swenson at a dance and they later married on December 6, 1958. They farmed together, first with her parents and after their passing, she and Lloyd continued to operate the farm until they retired. Lloyd passed away on May 27, 2020.

Although Betty resided on the farm her entire life, she had a special love for traveling, especially to the mountains. Trips included several to the mountains in the United States and Canada and three tours to Switzerland to enjoy the majestic Alps.
