After George's passing she married Arland Brown on June 23, 2001. Ellen was a member of Big Canoe Lutheran Church Priscilla Circle, and an active member of VFW auxiliary for 54 years. She had a great personality, was funny and never missed out on telling a joke. She loved to give you a hard time, but she expected you to give it back in return. Anything for a good laugh. No matter what the situation she could find something humorous. She enjoyed making lefse with her sisters (Three Sisters Lefse), bird watching, gardening, socializing with family and friends, playing cards and pulling tabs. She loved dancing and never missed listening to the big bands on the radio on Sunday mornings before church. She was very proud of all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is survived by her husband of 20 years, Arland Brown, of Mabel, Minn.; children Keith (Brenda) Bidne of Story City, Iowa, Kevin (Doreen) Bidne of Decorah, Kathy (Charles) Colbert of Mandeville, La., Karen (Aaron) Borcherding of Salina, Kans., and stepdaughter Michelle Brown (Ryan) of Irvine, Calif.; 10 grandchildren: Seth (Jennifer) Bidne of Grinnell, Katlin Bidne of Ankeny, Kirk Bidne of Minneapolis, Jared Bidne of Minneapolis, Keegan (Kaylee) Colbert of Destin, Fla., Trevor Colbert of Mandeville, La., Chandler Colbert of Ponchatoula, La., Chase Colbert of Mandeville, La., Kortney (Cole) Spickler of Leavenworth, Kans., Brendan Borcherding of Smithville, Mo.; two great-grandchildren, Riley and Thomas Bidne of Grinnell; two sisters, Louise Vander Sanden of Sun Prairie, Wis., and Verna (Willard) Hanson of Decorah; two sisters in law, Gloria (Leo) Bartlett and Donna Anderson; brother-in-law Roger Nolden, and many nieces and nephews.
