Mary Moulton's Mother Passes Away


Our condolences and prayers go out to Mary Moulton and her family on the passing of her mother. She was a wonderful woman. I met her a few times when she, Dianne Sturdevant's mom, and my mom would get together and socialize every once in a while. They all grew up around the Faulkton area about the same time, so they had many things to talk about.


Irene Ellen Moulton passed away on April 2, 2011 at the of of 93 while living at the Sanford Mid Dakota Care Centerin Chamberlain, SD. She was born on May 22, 1917 in Faulkton, SD to Dorothy and Lars Andersen. Irene was long time resident of Brookings, SD and the wife of Lowell C. Moulton, who died April 4, 1979. Irene was beloved mother of four daughters, Janice Christian (I'm wondering if that should be "Christiansen"-I recall looking at annuals of my older brothers and sisters and seeing the name of Janice Moulton; there was also a boy named Christiansen (Bob?), whose father may have had Chris's Market across from the swimming pool. Did they get married?) and Cheryl Paulson of Oacoma, SD, Mary Steen and Rita Vanterpool of Colorado Springs, CO. She has six grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. A memorial service in celebration of her life will be held in Brookings, SD around her 94th birthday (May 22, 2011). Information on the time and exact date will be published in Brookings Register when this information is known.
