Martha LaJoie
Martha LaJoie, 90, a longtime Ray, ND area resident died at her home in Ray, ND, Wednesday evening, February 14, 2007. Cremation has taken place and burial will take place in the Spring.
Martha Nora LaJoie was born on July 8, 1916 in White Earth, North Dakota, the daughter of Joseph and Clara (Blikre) Imsland. She was raised and educated in White Earth until 1927 when her family moved northwest of Ray, North Dakota. Martha then attended Stewart School and later Ray High School.
In 1934 Martha was united in marriage to Ben Elliott in Wolf Point, Montana. To this union her five children were born.
In the mid 1940?s the family moved to New Mexico. Ben died in 1953, and in 1954 Martha and her children moved to Nebraska. It was while visiting North Dakota in the summer of 1958 that Martha met Harley LaJoie. The couple was married at Raymond, Nebraska on October 15, 1958. In 1960 the couple established their home in Ray where they remained through the years.
Martha loved to sew and was an excellent seamstress. She enjoyed shopping for clothes and shoes, and liked to garden and do canning. She enjoyed family gatherings and was a great cook. Martha was a very loving mother and grandmother.
Martha is survived by her husband Harley; sons Benjamin (Ann) Elliott of Raymond, NE, Robert (Nancy) Elliott of Greenwood, ND; daughters Marlene Donnelly of Ray, ND, and Helen (Clay) Ringstad of Eagle, NE; brothers Elmer Imsland of Ray, ND, Glen Imsland of Utah; sisters Clarice Wood of White Fish, MT, and Marion Hauge of Ray, ND; son in law, Willie Long of Ray; numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; first husband Ben Elliott; daughter Patricia Long; brothers Arnold, Cy, JB, and Duane Imsland; son-in-law Kenny Donnelly; and an infant sister.
Fulkerson Funeral Home of Tioga is assisting the family.
I would think that the DOB for Benjamin should be on his children BC.
