Gunderson Mother: Belvera "Belle" (Hanse) Gunderson Siblings: Marion Chester, Glenn Burdette, Evelyn Leona, Clayton Alvin, Ellen Marie "El'Marie", Gladys Arlene, Violette Florence, Verna Norma and Barclay Lowell Gunderson 1st Husband: Ellis Boyd Dugger (DOB: 5-20-1919) married Oct. 7, 1939. He was the son of Willard and Florence Dugger of Sanders, Benewah Co., ID. 2nd Husband: Charles Howard Freeman (DOB: 11-9-1920) married Dec. 20, 1975. He was the son of George and Nancy Lillian (Martin) Freeman of St. Johns, WA. Children: D'Ette Dawn, Ellis Boyd, Jr., Danette Gustine, Evelyn Ryrie and Rochelle Wilene Dugger ----------- Life began for Cleone Lorraine Gunderson (age 86) on May 24, 1922 on a small farm in Sisseton, SD. Eternal life was gained with her victorious entry to heaven on June 19, 2008 at Whitman Hospital in Colfax. The last of ten children born to Gustav and Bellevera (Hanse) Gunderson, Cleone became the mother of five children, fifteen grandchildren, twenty eight great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. Her earthly life began and ended in the company of her greatest treasures - family. Cleone spent the first fifteen years of her life in South Dakota, until her parents relocated to Sanders, ID in 1937, where she met and married Ellis Dugger in 1939. During World War II, Cleone cleaned war planes at Galena Airfield while her husband served in Europe. Following the war the growing family lived in various areas of Idaho and Washington until settling in the Coeur d'Alene area in 1955. After Ellis' death in 1969, Cleone brought her two youngest children to live in St John, WA and married Howard (Papa) Freeman in 1975. Cleone's memories included her mother's resourcefulness during the Depression years, the bustle of a large family, walking in the serenity of the forests of Northern Idaho, the joy accompanying the birth of each baby born into the family, and a good hand of pinochle. The Bible became her greatest resource and she loved to receive its teaching as well as share its simple truths over a cup of coffee at her kitchen table. Not fond of large crowds, Cleone did not realize the huge impact she had on so many that received encouragement over the phone, by card or letter, and at her kitchen table. She leaves a legacy of faith and love. Cleone was survived by one remaining sister, El'Marie Opitz of Roslyn, SD; son, Ellis Dugger (Evelyn) of Spokane, WA; daughters, D'Ette (Don) McMahill of Spokane Valley, WA, Evelyn (Roger) Beck of St John, WA, Danette (Richard) Blackman of Las Vegas, NV, and Rochelle (Renault) Evans of Gallup, NM; grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, loving nieces and nephews and numerous friends and neighbors. She was preceded in death by husbands, Ellis Dugger in 1969 and Howard Freeman in 1992; father, Gust Gunderson in 1963; mother, Belle Gunderson in 1971; brothers, Marion Gunderson in 1984, Glenn Gunderson in 1987, Clayton Gunderson in 1994, Barclay Gunderson in 1973; sisters, Gladys Gunderson in 1925, Violette Peterson in 2007, Verna Jorgenson in 1997, and Evelyn Ragen in 2000. A celebration of Cleone's life and faith will be held June 24, 2008 at the St. John Christian Life Assembly, preceded by a graveside service at the St. John Cemetery. The family suggests memorials be made to the St. John Christian Life Assembly or St. John EMT's. Bruning Funeral Home, Colfax, WA is caring for the family.
