Sylvia Lorraine (Pederson) Beattie

Oct 23, 2021

Feb. 4, 1941-Oct. 12, 2021

Surrounded by her

children’s voices, our

beloved mom, grandma,

great grandma passed

away peacefully on Oc-

tober 12, 2021, at the age

of 80 years at the Sunset

Drive Senior Community

in Mandan, North Dakota.

Sylvia was born to Leo-

nard and Cecilia (Legreid)

Pederson on February 4,

1941, on a farmstead in

Griggs County, ND. She

attended school in Hanna-

ford, ND which is where

she met the love of her

life Larry Beattie. The

couple were married on

May 7, 1961, at the First

Lutheran Church in Han-

naford, ND. They moved

around for a few years

due to Larry’s tree service

employment, but finally

settled in Rolette ND in

1970, where they expand-

ed and raised their family.

They proudly purchased

the local “Tastee Freez” in

1978 and successfully

operated their business

for 20 years.

Sylvia was known by all

to be a busy, hardworking

woman. She had a big

heart and was such a giv-

ing soul. She crocheted

countless blankets, pil-

lows, and scarves, made

many tie-blankets, and I

would bet she flipped

more hamburgers than

Dave Thomas (Wendy’s)

himself. She enjoyed her

Friday night bowling

league and all the friends

they made along the way.

She was a jack of all

trades and worked multi-

ple different jobs in her

lifetime. She was also the

queen of “cat-naps,”

which is what kept her

going during her 12-13

hour shifts at the

“Tastee-Freez” for all

those years. She enjoyed

assisting with quilting and

loved canning while hav-

ing a glass or two of wine.

Her beautiful smile was

contagious and will be

missed by all.

She will be forever

cherished and remem-

bered by her children Lar-

ry Jr. (Karen) Beattie, Lee

(Jan) Beattie, Lowell Beat-

tie, Laurie (Brian) Crosby,

Lynn (Jesse) Klein and

(Denise) Beattie; thirteen

grandchildren Lindsey,

Kristi, Kacie (Skylar),

Morgan (Jonathan), Jor-

dan, Nichole, Matthew,

Zachary, Taylor (Karl),

Jacob, Tristan, Marlee and

Trevor; and six great-

grandchildren Brianna,

Leah, Morgan, Jakson,

Ryder and Auggie. Sylvia

will be missed by her si-

blings, Doris (Dave), Ed-

ward (Sharon), Jeanette

and Joyce (Clay); as well

as many nieces, nephews,

relatives, and friends.

Preceded in death by

her husband Larry, broth-

ers Howard and Herman,

sisters Myrtle and Clarice,

nephews Ernie, John and

Keith, and her parents,

Leonard and Cecilia

Pederson.
