Pamela Johnson, Loveland Reporter-HeraldLoveland resident Betty Sheneman, 95, cries as she greets U.S. Congressman Jared Polis at her home on Saturday. Polis visited the Loveland woman to talk about how his office helped her obtain survivor’s benefits this month. Betty’s husband died in 1996 from medical issues that were caused by the war. Seventy-three years after her now-late husband came home from World War II, Loveland resident Betty Sheneman still cries when she talks about the lifetime of nightmares and health issues he lived with after serving on the front lines in Europe. She cries when she talks about losing her husband, Leland Sheneman, in 1996 after he had a stroke that was tied to health issues because of the war, of his lifelong battle at home to receive certain military benefits and to deal with the aftermath of the war. And the 95-year-old cries at the thought of finally receiving survivor’s benefits from the United States government — eight years after pushing hard to have her application approved.
