She entered Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd Nursing Home in New Rockford, ND on March 28, 2017, and moved to the Golden Acres Manor Nursing Home in Carrington, on April 21st. Florence Elnora Posey, known to all as “Dolly” was born on October 4, 1914 in Revillo, SD, the daughter of Forest “Dick” and Carrie (Lasher) Posey. The family moved to the Melville, ND, area where Dolly attended grade school. They later moved to Carrington where Dolly attended high school. Dolly married Lester Footitt on June 1, 1934, at Cathay, ND. They made their home in Carrington where Lester drove truck and raised potatoes. In her early years Dolly worked at the Donald Duck Bottling Company and the Carrington Creamery. She later worked at the Carrington Hardware Store, and the Five and Dime Store in Carrington. For a number of years Dolly and Lester ran a little restaurant called “The Dairy Bar” where you could get the best burger in town, not to mention the unusual items such as chocolate covered insects and frog legs! It was a place for good coffee, conversation and always fun times. Dolly finished her working days at the Carrington Health Center where she cooked in the kitchen for a number of years before her retirement. She continued to cook at the hospital kitchen on an “as needed” basis even after her retirement into her early 80s because she loved working and staying busy. Dolly enjoyed spending time with family and friends, Birthday Club, baking, sewing, quilting, gardening, music, birds and animals (especially her kitty named Kate), and shopping. There were many shopping trips to Jamestown, Harvey, and Minot, and she could outshop the best every time! Whenever you visited Dolly she always had something baked ready and waiting and insisted on serving it. She was extremely talented on her sewing machine and made most of her children’s clothing as they grew up, matching dresses for her granddaughters, and continued to make blouses and beautiful things most of her life. Many people around Carrington probably have warm feet tonight thanks to the slippers that were made by Dolly, or they are drying their dishes with her embroidered dishtowels, or wiping their hands on her cute kitchen towels, or snuggled up under a quilt made by Dolly. Dolly was a member of the Federated Church in Carrington. She lived by the Golden Rule. She enjoyed attending church and singing the church hymns, the church potluck dinners, women’s guild, and the church Holiday Fair bizarre. People lined up at the church Holiday Fair bizarre and the Foster County Fair to buy her baked goodies, especially her divinity, donuts, long johns, breads, jams, bars, cookies, and pies. Dolly is survived by daughters, Suzanne (Lowell) Kriewald, Belevue, NE and Sandra Guenther, Seattle, WA; grandchildren Patti (Gregg) Mayerich, Paula (Dave) Loegering, all of Fargo, ND, Robyn Kriewald, Carmichael, CA, Sean (Alison) Kriewald, Bellevue, NE, and Brad Guenther, Seattle, WA; 11 great-grandchildren and 9 great-great-grandchildren; and special son-in-law Oscar Clapper. Dolly was preceded in death by her husband, Lester Footitt on February 13, 2003; daughter Joanne Clapper; sisters Marjorie Galt and Janet Nordeen; brothers Lawson Posey, Tom Posey, and Richard “Dick” Posey; granddaughter Nancy (Garland) Olson; grandson Mitch Guenther; and great granddaughter Tanya Lindblad.
