Betty Eileen Nordlum
Betty Eileen Nordlum, 74, of Crookston, Michigan on January 21, 1929, the daughter of Oliver and Clara (Durdahl) Nordlum. As a young girl she moved with her family to Beltrami, Minnesota, and formerly of Crookston, Wyoming, North Dakota on July 28, 1921, the daughter of Clifford and Ethel (May) Severance. She lived with her parents on a farm near Palermo, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and Minnesota, where her sister, Evelyn, was born later in the year. Adeline's mother married Hans Strom of Grygla in 1932. Adeline was baptized and confirmed at Grace Lutheran Church in Grygla, and attended grade school there and high school at Goodridge. On March 21, 1945 Adeline was united in marriage to Elmer Strom at Grygla. The couple made their home on a farm nearby, and twin sons, LeRoy and LaVern, were born to their union. For several years Adeline worked at local stores and restaurants and then was employed as a cook at the Grygla School for eleven years. Following Elmer's death on November 14, 1967 Adeline moved to St. Cloud, Minnesota and spent her days visiting with family and friends, crocheting, and cooking. She must have sensed that the end was near when, just a few weeks ago, she passed on her incredible skill for making lefsa to her granddaughter, LeAnne, and her grandniece, Sam. Adeline's legacy was her kind nature and gentle spirit and she will be very deeply missed by her family and many friends.
