MARGARET JESPERSEN

1926 - 2007

Margaret Jespersen, beloved wife of Clarence Jespersen of Taber, passed away on Friday, August 31, 2007 at the age of 81 years.
Besides her loving husband Clarence, Margaret is survived by her four sons and their families; Kent (Marilyn) Jespersen of Calgary and their three children Blake (Linda) and their daughter Maddie, Lindsey (Philippe) MacInnes and Brent Jespersen; Blair (Merle) Jespersen of Taber and their two children Kim and Marty (Melanie) Jespersen; Roger (Cecile) Jespersen of Taber and their three children Reid Fletcher and his daughter Rhianon, Ashley Jespersen and Nicole (Shane) Ferguson and their children Dylan and Nicholas; Randy (Cheryl) Jespersen of West Vancouver and their two children Scott (Debbie) and Corrie (Aaron West) and their daughter Emma. Margaret is also survived by her brother John (Ann) Serrie of Calgary, sister-in-law Phyllis Dedekam of Lethbridge and her special friend Donald Stewart as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents, her grandson (Roger & Cecile’s son) Aaron Jespersen, her siblings Janet (George) Graden, Mary (Bob) Gilbert, Sarah (Ted) Watts, Anne (Rusty) Stubbert and by her brother-in-law Hans Dedekam.
Margaret was born at Taber August 14, 1926 and was the daughter of John & Sarah Serrie. She received her schooling in Taber and on July 14, 1944, married Clarence Jespersen at the Knox United Church. Margaret was a gifted cook, whether it be preparing milk shakes or cinnamon buns during the long harvest days or preparing full spreads for the traditional Sunday or holiday family dinners that were so important to her.  Of course, there was always room for extended family and friends.  She devoted her life to her extended family, consistently nurturing the needs of others before those of  her own.
Relatives and friends are invited to meet with the family at the Southland Funeral Chapel, 5006 - 48 Avenue, Taber on Tuesday, September 4, 2007 between 7:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.
The Funeral Service will be held at the Knox United Church, 4929 - 50 Avenue, Taber on Wednesday, September 5, 2007 at 2:00 P.M. with Reverend Dr. Austin Fennell officiating.  Burial to follow at the Taber Memorial Garden.
