(Rudy) Monson, 85, died Monday, Nov. 22, 2010, at his home in rural Forest City. Funeral service was held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 27, at Winnebago Lutheran Church in rural Lake Mills with Pastor Bill Peters officiating. Burial was at the church cemetery. Rutherford B. (Rudy) Monson was born on a farm in Mt. Valley Township, near Forest City on Nov. 17, 1925, the son of Nick and Etta (Olson) Monson. He was baptized and confirmed at Winnebago Lutheran Church. He received his elementary education in rural schools near his home and graduated from Forest City High School in 1943. He entered the U.S. Marine Corps on March 23, 1944, and fought during WWII in the South Pacific with the Marine Corps "Scouts and Snipers". Following his discharge from the service he returned to the Forest City area. On Dec. 28, 1947 he was united in marriage to Doris Myre at the Little Brown Church in Nashua and the couple made their home on the family farm east of Forest City. Rudy was a lover of life. After a lifetime of farming he enjoyed spending time attending parades, local threshing shows, buying, fixing up and collecting antique John Deere tractors and classic cars and watching John Wayne movies. Rudy knew and talked about the genealogy of everyone in the county, going back more than years. He loved driving around the countryside sharing stories and checking everyone's crops. Once you got in his car, you weren't sure just how long the ride would last. Jane's Cafe in Fertile was a favorite gathering spot for Rudy and all his buddies as they daily kept one another abreast of all the local "happenings". Central to Rudy's life was spending time with his family. He was never happier than when surrounded by all his immediate and extended family. Rudy is survived by his children; Craig (Teresa) Monson of Forest City; Ardella (Dale) Johnson of Edina, Minn.; Murray (Donna) Monson of Boone, Iowa and Dr. Mark Monson of Mora, Minn. Also surviving are 15 grandchildren: Brian & Shawn Monson; Colby, Cohen & Callen Monson; David, Vicki, Jeffley, Brian, Bradley & Gregory Johnson; Dr. Nathan Monson & Lucas Monson and Elizabeth & Joshua Monson: 4 great grandchildren; Logan Monson, Drew Monson, Lucas Renneke and Maia Johnson and a sister, Evelyn Budlong of Mason City. Rudy was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Doris, son Norman, brother Merle Monson, sisters Ora Syckes, Margie Olson, Sally DeBaker and Gertie Smith and a nephew, Greg Syckes.
