Grace L. Andahl, 90, Bismarck, died peacefully on Jan. 28, 2010, at home with her family at her side. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 1, at Church of Corpus Christi, Bismarck, with the Rev. Paul Becker officiating. Burial will be in Baldwin Cemetery.
Visitation will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Parkway Funeral Service, 2330 Tyler Parkway, Bismarck, where a vigil service will begin at 6:30 p.m. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the service at the church.
Grace was born Aug. 2, 1919, to Paul and Agnes (Murray) Schonert. She grew up on her parent’s farm north of Bismarck, where she attended Burnt Creek School. She married Helmer Andahl on Sept. 24, 1940. Shortly after they married, they purchased a farm north of Bismarck where they lived and farmed together. They had one son, Ronald.
Grace enjoyed farm living to the fullest and had the heart of a true pioneer woman. She raised and sold chickens and eggs, tended large gardens, canned countless jars of fruits and vegetables, along with many other farm-life enterprises. Grace also enjoyed sewing, making over 600 quilts during her lifetime — many for family and friends, but with a good number going to local charities. She was affectionately known as the “quilt lady.” She was a charter member of the Riverside Homemaker’s Club which began in 1948, and was an active member all her life. Grace loved her farm home and was lucky enough to spend all of her days, even her last ones, there.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Ron and Pat; her granddaughter, Darcy; her grandson, David and his wife, Jackie; her great-grandchildren, Stephanie and Tyler Mees; her sister, Rosemary Andahl; and her sisters-in-law, Lila Little, Aldyth Doering and Beverly, Lucille and Leona Schonert; and many nieces and nephews and her beloved cat, Rudy.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Helmer; her grandson, Ty; three brothers, Robert, Joseph and Roy Schonert; and her brothers-in-law, Roy Andahl, Don Little and Buck Doering.
