She was born in St. Helen’s, England on October 20th, 1934 to Ralph & Jane Leyland.
She was the 7th of 10 children. She was united in marriage to John Fairhurst June 27th,

She is survived by her husband and one daughter Valerie (Bill) Lenz, grandsons William
(Shelley) and their children - Davis & Layla, Jackson (Laura Rey), and Taylor
(Nasslynne) and their children - Madison & Aiden. All of her immediate family live in
Henderson, Nevada. She has one remaining sister, Sylvia Clisham of Decorah, Iowa.
Jack & Betty lived a very happy and blessed life together. In 1982 they moved from
England and away from all their family to be with their only daughter Valerie and her
family in Campbellsport, WI. On February 10th, 1988, they became proud American
citizens!
Betty worked as an executive assistant for over 15 years, including many years as the
assistant to the President of the West Bend Co. prior to retiring to be a full time
grandmother.
In 2000, they moved to Fond du Lac, WI and spent 16 years there with family and many
friends. Betty & Jack were active in their beloved Church, St. Peter’s Evangelical
Lutheran. They loved to cruise the world and travel extensively. Betty enjoyed
participating in her Friday night bowling leagues, golfing with her husband, and watching
her grandchildren in the sports they played. Both of them thoroughly enjoyed their life in
Wisconsin!
In 2016, they moved to Henderson, Nevada as the family had or was in the process of
relocating there. Betty was able to enjoy her grandchildren, their wives, and especially
her 4 precious great grandchildren.
A private family service will be held in Henderson.
In lieu of flowers, memorials would be appreciated to Green Valley Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Henderson, NV. A sincere thank you to Dr. Kushner and all the medical staff
involved in her care.
