    Notes 
    • Alphie J. Bunde, 96, formerly of Thompson, North Dakota, died February 14, 2011 at Augustana Care Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She moved to the Augustana Senior Apartments in 2001 and received loving care at the adjoining Care Center since 2006.

      Alphie Josephine Hanson was born September 26, 1914 on her parents homestead farm near Braddock, North Dakota, not far from Bismarck. In 1928 her family moved to Grand Forks, where she graduated from Grand Forks Central High School and Aakers Business College. She married Wilfred Bunde October 23, 1948 and they made their home on a farm in Walle township south of Grand Forks. Wilfred died in a tragic farm accident in 1968. Alphie stayed on the farm until her move to Minneapolis in 2001 to be close to her daughters family.

      Alphie worked in the Grand Forks County Treasurers Office part- and full-time for nearly 40 years, including 8 years as deputy treasurer and the 4 years before she retired as elected county treasurer. Alphie was active in the church and community her whole life but is perhaps best remembered for her beautiful singing, which was an inspiration to others until the end of her life.

      Alphie was preceded in death by her parents George and Sina Hanson, beloved husband Wilfred Bunde, sisters Margaret and Helen and twin brother Alfred. She is survived by: daughter Sharlene (John) Hensrud, Golden Valley, MN; sister Lillian (Robert) Stadelman, Pound, WI; grandchildren Davin Hensrud (Laura Given), St. Louis Park, MN and Nissa (Dominique) Pierre-Toussaint, Golden Valley, MN; great-grandchildren Radley and Sina Given and Kennedy and Khalen Pierre-Toussaint; many beloved nieces, nephews and extended family members. Alphie lived a long and full life, inspiring all those whose lives she touched. She will be deeply missed.
