Cecile R. Grinde
Cecile Rebecca Grinde, 89, of Prineville, Ore., and past resident of Bigfork, died Dec. 28.
No service will be held at this time.
She was born July 10, 1920, in Moorhead, Minn., to Henry Christian Rehder and Ottillia Francisca Aigner, both German immigrants.
After attending high school, Cec enrolled in Moorhead State College and received a teaching degree in 1941. She first taught in Big Falls, Minn., and then in East Moline, Ill. She moved to San Diego, Calif., in 1943 and worked summers for Ryan Aeronautical, building bombers for the U.S. military. In 1945 she took a teaching position in Wasco, Calif., teaching migrant farm children.
During that time, she met her husband, Kenneth M. Grinde, a homeward-bound Army veteran from Minneapolis. He was working as an electrician in Bakersfield, Calif. Cec and Ken returned to Minnesota and married in 1947. They raised three children while Ken pursued an ambitious career as an aerospace engineer for Lockheed Martin.
In 1972 the couple moved to Bigfork. Ken started Grinde Construction a few years later. Cec kept the books for Ken's business and did substitute teaching in the Bigfork schools. She volunteered at the Village Square and the Bigfork Library for many years. In her spare time, she loved to sew and pursue her hobbies of crochet, watercolor painting, gardening, cooking and baking. Her family, and especially the grandchildren, fondly remember her many delicious treats.
Cec began to have serious health problems and by 2005 Cec and Ken relocated to Prineville to live near their daughter...
Cec was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother who took great care of her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.
A memorial will be held in Bigfork in the spring or summer of 2010 and her ashes will be scattered along the Swan River, which she dearly loved.
Memorial suggestions are the PMH Hospice of Prineville or the QRU of Bigfork.
The family is entrusting Whispering Pines Funeral Home with the arrangements.
