Christianson, age 91 of Bottineau died Thursday at a Bottineau hospital. Funeral will be held on Monday at 10:00 am at the Peace Lutheran Church in Dunseith. Visitation will be Sunday from 1:00 pm until 9:00 pm at the Nero Funeral Home in Bottineau. Burial will be at the Oak Creek Cemetery in Bottineau. Alvina J. Christianson, a daughter of Andrew and Ellen (Laugsand) Brudwick, was born on July 18, 1920 near Landa, ND. In November of 1928, when Alvina was eight years old, Andrew and Ellen with their family of five children, moved to Bruvik, Norway, Andrew's birthplace. In July of 1930, they moved back to the Landa area, since America offered more opportunities then Norway. In the fall of that year, the family moved to the Turtle Mountains. Alvina attended different schools during her elementary years. As time went on, she worked as a housekeeper for different families, one of them being Clifford and Alma Halvorson family. Soon it was no secret that Alvina had become interested in Alma's brother, Clarence, who lived just across the lake. On November 1, 1945, Alvina married the love of her life, Clarence Christianson. Alvina then moved across the lake where she and Clarence lived on their farm for one day short of 50 years, at which time they moved into Bottineau. Alvina really new nothing of farm life, but she learned very quickly and soon she followed Clarence as they did things side by side. To this union one daughter, Lois Diane, was born. Throughout Alvina's life, she loved playing tricks on people and she seemed to always get blames whether she did it or not. She loved to laugh over these pranks. She was a quiet person but also loved to visit. She had many passions as she loved her flowers, garden and canning produce. She enjoyed baking. She also enjoyed a game of whist with family and friends. Alvina had a very quiet, strong faith in God. She always tried to do things "the right way" as she said and took it very serious if she thought she'd failed. She always put others ahead of herself. Her greatest love was her family and this love was shown in so many ways, such as totally caring for Clarence in his last years so he could stay at home. The day her daughter and her grandson, Cody, were born were two of the most special days of her life; and her son-in-law, Richard soon became her "son" in her eyes. She also welcomed all the pets that were brought into her family and they were treated as humans too. Alvina lived on the farm for 50 years after her marriage before moving to Bottineau where she lived in two different apartments and then finally moving into the St. Andrew's Health Center for her last years. She was a member of the Peace Lutheran Church in Dunseith. She leaves behind her daughter, Lois (Richard) Roland of Crosby; one grandson, Cody of Minneapolis; sister, Emma Kofoid of Bottineau, 2 sisters-in-law, Florence Struck of Bottineau and Bernice (Harold) Carlson of Grand Forks, along with many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her husband, Clarence; her parents; one sister, Alice Berg 3 brothers, Milan, Kenneth and Gerald and sisters-in-law, Alma Halvorson Helen Bye and Emma Halvorson.
