Helen Oftedahl Hoeper, 97, passed away Sunday, Sept. 9, 2018, at Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin, Minnesota.

A heart-thrilling joy for Helen was singing with over 400 others from Lutheran church choirs at St. Olaf College. Helen said, “We were high in the bleachers of the gym. Way down, on the floor of the gym, stood F. Melius Christianson, with no music and no baton. This beautiful man, with his white curly hair, famous composer/arranger, took us through those bells ringing, with swellings and fading, directing this huge choir with only his arms and radiant face. Everyone could hear and feel the bells chiming. “

Years later, Helen wished she could understand (back in 1938) the Scriptural meaning of “who opens the door?” But, about 10 years later, Helen “opened the door” of her heart, asking the Blessed Lord Jesus to come in, and He did. Old things passed away; everything became new, especially music.

During their youth, Helen and two friends formed a trio, calling themselves “The Swinging Sisters” – singing the popular music of that era. But, for Helen, “old things” passed away. She found a great love for singing and listening to hymns, gospel music and anthems.

She will be waiting for her husband, Ralph; her two sons and their wives, David and Carla and Peter and Lisa; three grandsons and their wives, Joshua and Nicole, Adam, Justin and Phalen Stang; one granddaughter and her husband, Lisa and Brent Radford; 11 great-grandchildren, all so precious to Helen; three nephews; two nieces; and good friend and sister-in-law, Carla Oftedahl, Duane’s wife. To all of you and the few cousins she is leaving on Earth, Helen shares a favorite old hymn lyric: “Jesus paid it all/All to Him I owe/ Sin had left a crimson stain/He washed it white as snow.”

Waiting to greet Helen will be her parents, Bardenes (Ben) and Berthe (Bakka) Oftedahl; three brothers, Paul, Duane and Boyd (who passed away at age five in 1924); one sister, Karen Shreiner; and one sister-in-law, Vonnie Oftedahl, Paul’s wife.

Helen’s family wishes to sincerely thank and express deep gratitude to Marlene Ohm, special friend to Helen, and the many fine residents and colleagues at St. Mark’s Living in Austin during her time at St. Mark’s Apartments, the Austin emergency responders, and the wonderful care provided by Mayo Clinic Health System – Austin during her final hours.

Per Helen’s wishes, there will be a private burial on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018, in Lakewood Cemetery in Albert Lea, Minnesota, with Bayview Freeborn Funeral Home assisting the family with arrangements.

Frank Richard Williamson, age 94 of Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, died Friday, September 7, 2018, at Prairie Manor Care Center in Blooming Prairie.

Frank Richard Williamson, Jr. was born in Chicago, IL on September 17, 1923, the son of Frank and Maybelle (Hansen) Williamson. He grew up in Chicago and graduated from Austin High School (Chicago) in 1941. After graduating, Frank served his country from 1942 until 1945 by enlisting in the United States Coast Guard. The Coast Guard assigned him to the USS Harveson, a U.S. Navy destroyer escort charged with protecting Allied supply convoys in the North Atlantic against German attack.

During the middle of World War II, Frank married the love of his life, Margaret Watson, in Oak Park, IL, on August 10, 1944. After the war, Frank started working toward his lifelong dream of becoming a farmer. He and Margaret moved to a Lemont, IL, in 1947 to work for a farmer. The couple later moved to Sandwich, IL, where Frank worked for another farmer. Jill, the couple’s first child, was born there. In 1950, Frank and Margaret moved to Belvidere, IL, to rent a farm. They bought a farm in that area in 1958.

During their years in Belvidere, Frank and Margaret had three sons: Terry, David, and Mark.

Frank wanted to expand his farming business, which brought the Williamson family to Waltham, MN, in 1968. After moving to Minnesota, Frank joined First Lutheran Church in Blooming Prairie and became active in the congregation through serving on the church council and volunteering for countless other activities. Frank also enjoyed attending USS Harveson reunions throughout the country, hosting family and friends on the farm, and traveling. Frank and Margaret remained on their farm until 1998, when they retired to a new home in Blooming Prairie. While Frank missed farming, he found new activities during his retirement to find fulfillment, such as joining the local Lion’s Club and golfing.

Frank’s beloved Margaret required around-the-clock care after a series of falls and she moved to Prairie Manor Care Center in 2012, where she resided until her passing in 2016. During Margaret’s time at Prairie Manor, Frank’s devotion never wavered and he spent the majority of his waking hours visiting and comforting her. Frank’s own health began deteriorating in 2014, when he moved to the Heather Haus Assisted Living facility in Blooming Prairie. Frank will forever be remembered for his knack for storytelling, humorous, yet gentle nature, selflessness, and loyalty to friends and family, near and far. The love and care Frank showed for Margaret also serves as a source of inspiration to his family and friends.

Frank is survived by his children: Jill (Terry) Gamlin of Huntington, IN, Terry (Diane) Williamson of Cottage Grove, MN, David (Shelley) Williamson of Woodbury, MN, Mark (Debra) Williamson of New Brighton, MN; grandchildren Michelle (Todd) Dischinger of Crosslake, MN, Brian Gamlin of Huntington, IN, Scott Gamlin of Huntington, IN, Eric Williamson of Cottage Grove, MN, Nathan Williamson of Ramsey, MN, Michael Williamson of Denver, CO, Andrew Williamson of Seattle, WA; great-grandchildren Drusilla Dischinger, Luke Dischinger, Justin Erikson, Kenzie Gamlin, and Kylie Gamlin; sister Barbara Carter; nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, parents-in-law Jenny (Conroy) and Clyde Watson, and brother-in-law, Dr. Earl Carter.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 14, 2018, at First Lutheran Church in Blooming Prairie, with Pastors Dick Hegal and Heidi Heimgartner officiating. Visitation will be held from 4:00-7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 13 at the Worlein Blooming Prairie Funeral Home, and one hour prior to the service at the church on Friday. Interment will be in Grandview Cemetery, Austin, MN.

Barbara Louise (Hrubetz) Nelson, 83, of Lyle, Minnesota, passed away on Thursday, September 20th, 2018 at 8:30 p.m. in her home.

Barbara was born August 10, 1935, in Austin, Minnesota, to Lorraine (Pavek) Hrubetz and Louis Hrubetz. She graduated from Austin High school in 1953. She married Chet Nelson on November 28, 1953 and bore four awesome children, according to her. They resided in Austin until 1985. They moved to the Nelson family farm in Lyle where they currently resided.

One of Barb’s proudest achievements was graduating from Nursing School in the early 80’s and always took excellent care of her family with her nursing skills. She also used her nursing skills on Eric when at five years old, he fell into a motel swimming pool where she administered CPR and saved his life. Barb’s greatest love was spending time with her family. She loved to shop and would take her daughters and granddaughters on overnight hotel/shopping sprees during hunting season. She enjoyed her time at Leech Lake with her family and grandchildren where many games of 500 were played where she cheated vigorously and won! She was an avid fisherwoman back in the day and usually out fished her husband Chet.

In her last years, she and Chet loved attending church at Calvary Lutheran Church, where they were members, with Pastor Unseth, whom Barb adored and he cherished her. She also loved watching westerns on GRIT, doing family Bible studies and cooking wonderful meals for her family, which will be greatly missed. We will never taste an apple pie, potato salad, baked beans or chocolate cake like the ones that she prepared.

She is survived by her husband, Chet of 64 years; son, Greg (Sheila) Nelson, Las Vegas, Nevada; grandson, Dustin (Amanda) Nelson; great grandson, Gannon; daughter, Julene (Craig) Selander, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota; granddaughter, Brittany; grandson, Brock, who passed to heaven in 2014; daughter, Kristal (Steve) Gillen, Mound, Minnesota; granddaughter, Brooke; great grandchildren, Brayden and Willow; grandson, Nick; son, Jeff (Diane) Nelson, Queen Creek, Arizona; granddaughter, Jaden; sister, Karen (Doc) Skjeveland, Cottage Grove, Minnesota.

We will miss you mom, every second of every day. Mom, you were the best.
