Visitation is 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. today at Pondera Funeral Home in Conrad. Her funeral is 11 a.m. Saturday at the Conrad First Presbyterian Church, with burial in Hillside Cemetery. She is survived by her children, Ralph (Sandy) Syvertson of Evansville, Wyo., Sandy (Terry) Syvertson of Conrad, Jim (Sue) Syvertson of Kalispell, Donna Syvertson of Missoula, Valerie (Ben) Batson of Conrad, Terry Engelhardt of Virginia, and Gerald (Penny McSweyn) Barker of Laurel; sisters Dorothy Murrain and Margaret Reynolds of Conrad; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Edith was born Jan. 8, 1924, in Vail, Iowa, to George and Ethel [Emma (McCombs)] Moore. The family moved to Conrad in 1929, to farm. Edith graduated from Conrad High School. In 1943, she married Lloyd P. Syvertson. They were blessed with children Ralph, Sandy, Jim, William, Robert and Donna. They divorced in 1953. In 1955, Edith and Norman Engelhardt were married and were blessed with children: Valerie and Terry. Norman passed away in 1958. Edith married Orville Barker in 1962, and they were blessed with a son, Gerald. Orville passed away in 1988. Edith had a strong work ethic, which she passed on to her children. She worked at Reiner's Grocery and Buttrey's before being elected as the Pondera County assessor and serving in that position for 16 years. She was very active in her children's lives as they participated in school-related activities. It was not uncommon for her to run up and down the football field as her sons pushed the ball toward the goal. She was as exhausted as they were by the time the game was over. She spent many years driving cheerleaders to out-of- town games as they were not allowed to ride the bus with the boys. Edith was a firm believer in giving back to the community. She was a member of the American Legion and VFW Auxiliaries, Women of the Moose, Democratic Women's Club, Montana Assessor's Association, Morning Circle of the First Presbyterian Church, Soroptimist Women's Club and the Conrad Women's Bowling Association. She served as a reverse mortgage counselor, on the Pondera County Government Study Commission and Home Health Board, and was a board member for the Council on Aging and for the Pondera County Senior Center. She was tour coordinator for the Pondera County Senior Center, represented Pondera County in Legacy Legislature, represented Montana as a Silver-Haired Senator in Washington, D.C., and, in 1999, was voted Area III Senior of the Year. Edith was a staunch Democrat and worked very hard to support Democratic candidates. In September, when she knew her time on Earth was coming to an end, she stated quite emphatically that she wasn't going anywhere until she voted in this election, and when she said it, she meant it. Her stubbornness served her well in her fight against cancer. She was proud to say she was a 25- year survivor of breast cancer, and she used her experiences to help other women who were facing that same battle. The last year and a half were not easy for Edith, who was used to being on the go and being involved in all aspects of her community. This past summer, she spent many hours on her patio soaking up the sun. She was well-known for the beautiful begonias she grew each year. She was always pleased when people would stop to admire her flowers. Edith also enjoyed camping, traveling and politics, and loved playing cards and, especially, winning. She was a proud parent and grandparent. At the gates of heaven, Edith was reunited with her twin sons, Robert and William Syvertson; grandson Ron Syvertson; her husband, Orville; sister Norma McAdams; and her parents. Memorials may be made to the Conrad Community Cancer Fund, P.O. Box 743, Conrad, MT 59425; Caring for Kids, 211 S. Montana, Conrad, MT 59425; or the Conrad First Presbyterian Church.--Great Falls Tribune, Nov. 28, 2008
