Elizabeth Elstad Okerlund of Duluth, Minneapolis, and Madison Lake, Mn as well as San Diego, Ca. “valiantly accepted her reservation in Heaven” on July 27, at the age of 76. She is dearly loved and cherished by her husband, children, grandchildren, and the many friends who she declared as family and whose lives she touched with her generosity and unfailing love. Born Elizabeth Anne in Saint Paul, Minnesota on August 30, 1932. She joins her mother, Elizabeth D. Elstad and her father, Rudolph T. Elstad, former President of Oliver Mining Company. Her reunion with her parents, gives us peace. She spent her life in patient and joyous service of others, working with not only special needs children at the Fraser School of Minneapolis and later in the Edina School System, also hosting numerous international exchange students and their families. “What’s one more?” was her attitude. Her inspired work taught her family so much about life. It’s an example to which we can all aspire. Our beloved "Mrs. O" leaves friends around the world. Her wise counsel remains with her husband Robert E. Okerlund, her children Stephen, Jeffrey, Elizabeth, and Robert; her grandchildren Elizabeth, Katherine and Christopher as well as each and every one of those she touched.
