THORESON, Alma Randina (I8761)

20952

Surrounded by his family, Glennis Malfred Hamre, Leonard, ND, was called home to his Savior on November 21, 2003 at MeritCare Hospital, Fargo, North Dakota.

Glennis was born on January 14, 1923 on the family farm in Watson Township, near Leonard, North Dakota to Malfred and Anna (Ufer) Hamre. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Peter?s Lutheran Church, Leonard, ND. He attended country school in Watson Township, attended Sheldon High School for three years, and graduated from the Enderlin Public School in 1940.

Glennis was married to Muriel Moen on February 20, 1949 at Preston Church, near Fort Ransom, ND. They had four children, Diane, Jeff, Shelley and Susan. Glennis and Muriel owned and operated the family farm in Cass County. Community service was a priority to Glennis and was shown by his active involvement in many ways. He was an active member of the First Lutheran Church, Enderlin, ND. Glennis volunteered as a 4-H leader and Cass County 4-H council member. He served on the Chaffee and Chaffee-Lynchburg Elevator Board, Leonard Oil Company Board, was an ASCS board member for 20 years and a charter member and director of the Enderlin Rural Fire Department and served for 26 years. A great joy for Glennis was also the time he donated to the Red River Valley Fair Board where he had the privilege to give his time as the President in 1995-96. He was active in the organization of the Enderlin Quarterback Club and a lifelong Enderlin Eagle sports fan.

In his later years, Glen enjoyed golfing, collecting tools/antiques and continued to help on the family farm by chasing Neva?s cows. Everyone could tell by the look on his face how much he loved following his children?s and grandchildren?s activities. He was a kind and loving husband, father, grandfather and friend.

Mourning his passing is his wife, Muriel; his daughter Diane (Harley) Horsager, Lakeville, MN, and granddaughters Serena and Maia, step-granddaughter Julie (Troy) Scott and step-great grandson Justin, and step-granddaughter Kim (Doug) Richardson and step-great granddaughter Kaitlyn; his son Jeff (Neva), Leonard, ND, and grandchildren Haley, Kayl, Mackenzie, and Jorun; his daughter Shelley (Brad) Zietz, Fargo, ND, and grandchildren Ben and Greta; his daughter Susan, St. Paul, MN; his special cousins, nieces, nephews and a host of friends.

Preceding Glennis in death were his parents and his sister and brother-in-law, Eleanor and Marvin Utke.
Interment will be held at the Enderlin Cemetery.

HAMRE, Glennis (I25634)

Survived by stepsons: Jason Phillips of Calgary, Jeramie Phillips of Aldergrove, and Nathaniel Pelletier of Calgary; daughter-in-law Diana Pelletier, and his seven grandchildren (in order of ages): Tyler Langevin, Dallas Langevin, Nikki Van Ryssel, Mandy Van Ryssel, Jordon Langevin, Myhrsades Pelletier, and Zach Langevin, along with many nieces and nephews.

Although Ken lived most of his life on the west coast, he had many friends across Canada. Many of us will remember him driving happily across Canada and the States in his 18-wheeler, listening to his trucking tunes, talking on the CB. He had many good memories of the friends he made the hours spent with his sons on the road, eating at truck stops, sleeping in his cab, and passing each other on the highway. I can remember many a holiday visiting those same truck stops, checking to see who might be in town. He was a man known for his laughter and loyalty to friends. He loved to play jokes on people, and so he was also the receiver of many jokes as well. He was a treasure, a million times more valuable than the ones some people spend a lifetime trying to find. He was someone whom anyone would be privileged to know. He was not only a fantastic friend; he was a tremendous, rare and extraordinary person, a beloved father, grandfather, uncle and husband. He will be missed by all who knew him. This world is a better place because he walked through it. Celebration of life will be held Saturday, December 1st from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at his son Gord and Jan Langevin's home.

Called “C. Evelyn” in Diane’s obit.

C. Evelyn Toso, died Monday, Dec. 22, 2014 at PioneerCare in Fergus Falls.

Evelyn and her twin sister, Helen, were born March 9, 1918 to Carl and Hannah (Baglien) Lerbakken at their home in Oscar Township in rural Rothsay. She was baptized at home and attended Hedemarken Lutheran Church where she went to Sunday School and was confirmed on Oct. 25, 1931 in Norwegian. Evelyn attended country school in District 127 through eighth grade, where she walked three miles across fields and over barbwire fences while carrying her tin lunch pail.

In 1938 she met Marvin James Toso and later married on Oct. 1, 1940 at Hamar Lutheran Parsonage in Rothsay. After they were married, they worked for several farmers in the Rothsay area where Marvin worked with cattle and in the fields and Evelyn cleaned houses and helped with the laundry. Later they moved to Carlisle where their first child, Marlene, was born in 1943. They continued farming in the Rothsay area where their second child, Diane, was born in 1950. In 1955 they sold the farm and moved to Fergus Falls where Marvin worked at Mid American Dairy until his retirement. During this time, Evelyn did babysitting in her home for neighbor children until she started working at Lake Region Hospital in the dietary department, where she was known as “The Salad Lady” for 27 years.

In 1969 they bought a small farm north of Fergus Falls where they raised a few cattle and enjoyed their retirement and grandchildren, as farming was the love of their lives. In 1999 they moved back into Fergus Falls where they continued their 63 years of marriage. Shortly after Marvin’s death in 2003, Evelyn moved to Park Gardens until 2011 when she entered PioneerCare where she remained until her death.

Evelyn was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. She enjoyed visiting with friends, neighbors and relatives and also enjoyed taking trips, sewing, gardening, baking and having coffee at area cafes. But most of all, she loved spending time with her family and her grandchildren.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Carl and Hannah Lerbakken; husband, Marvin Toso; daughter, Diane (Eldor) Merz; brothers, baby Norris, Norris, Herbert and Harold Lerbakken; sisters, Myrtle, twin sister, Helen Lerbakken, Calma Jacobson, Alice Olson and Clarice Nord.

Evelyn is survived by her daughter, Marlene (Vance) Johnson of Foxhome; grandchildren, Brett (Rachel) Johnson of Foxhome, Melissa (John) Langston of Fargo, North Dakota, Corey Merz of Fergus Falls, Tyler (Janice) Merz of Fergus Falls, Brady Merz of Fergus Falls; great-grandchildren, Alex, Austin, Andrew, Makenna, Jaden, Jase, Zach, Madisin, Jazmyn, Kaelyn, Mackenzie, James, John and Anna; brother-in-law, John (Tamie) Toso of Owatonna; sisters-in-law, Helen (Clayton) Toso of Alexandria, Evelyn (Leo) Hennen of Morris. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, including Nita Neulieb and Eileen Smiley.
