Read More	Clifford John Amdahl, 79, of Great Falls, died of natural causes Sunday, May 27, at a local care facility. Clifford was born July 13, 1932, to Martin and Mildred (Lillegard) Amdahl in Great Falls. He was the third child in a family of six children. Clifford attended the then-Hawthorne School in Black Eagle and Paris Gibson Junior High School. As a young man, he worked on ranches in the Stanford area for a while. Later on, he moved out to New Hampshire, where he worked for Perle Construction until he was terribly injured in June of 1974. He returned to Great Falls in December 1976. While attending Westside United Methodist Church with his mother, he met Diane Cox Gewald. They were married Aug. 6, 1977, at Westside United Methodist Church. Clifford loved Diane as much as she loved him. He strengthened her faith in God and supported her in any way he needed or could. He will be missed more than words can say. Due to his accident, Clifford was on disability, but had the calling to go into the active ministry. He obtained his GED and went into the church's five-year course of study to be an ordained minister. The first church he served was in Sand Coulee, starting there in October 1980. The Sun River Methodist Church was added. In September 1983, he was asked to serve the Oilfield Parish, consisting of Kevin, Sunburst and Sweet Grass. During this time, he earned his associate's degree through the College of Great Falls in 1986 and attended seminary for a month each summer. He was ordained deacon in June 1986, a very proud moment in his life. He and Diane moved to Kaycee, Wyo., in July 1987 and in 1988, moved to Sheridan, Wyo., where he served Sheridan and Twin Bridges. January 1990 found them on the road to Denton. Clifford finally had to give into his health problems and retired in August 1993. He and Diane moved back to their home in Great Falls. Clifford continued to fill pulpits for ministers until surgery for essential tremor damaged his speaking ability. He was an active member at Westside United Methodist Church, serving on the trustees' committee for several years, worked on a big display and the book for the 100th year celebration and started a library where readers can check out books of interest. He was a member of the Great Falls Stamp Club and had an amazing collection of stamps and postal cards. He was especially proud of his Mason membership in the Western Star Lodge #164 in Denton, and of being a 32 degree Mason in the Great Falls Lodge. The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease came as a shock, as did the reality of Parkinson's disease. Finally, in February 2009, he was admitted to Missouri River Manor. He continued his ministry by consoling other residents on his wing, befriending new residents and making everyone feel good with his wonderful smile and hearty laughter. Clifford will be remembered by his wife; a stepson; a stepdaughter; a granddaughter; a sister; a brother and sister-in-law; and his other siblings. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother William M. Amdahl and brother-in-law Charles S. Cox. Complete obituary published in Great Falls Tribune on May 29, 2012
