Delores E. Gnadt's Obituary
Delores Edna Gnadt, 91, of Ada, MN, died Saturday, November 17, 2012, at Bridges Care Community, Ada, MN.
She was born on November 20, 1920, to Ira and Bertha (Bullard) Geiselhart at Jefferson, Iowa. Her family moved to the Bertha and Sebeka, MN area when she was a child. Delores' family settled in the Lockhart, MN area. Following her schooling, Delores worked on the family farm and for area families.
On August 31, 1943, Delores was married to John "Jack" Gnadt at Ada. They lived in Lockhart and Delores was most proud of the four children she and Jack raised. They spent a year in Tacoma, WA, while Jack worked in the shipyards during WWII. Delores worked hard all her life. She drove farm truck for Erickson's Farm, baby sat for neighbors and drove school bus for 35 years. After 59 years of marriage, Jack died on June 30, 2002. Delores continued to live in Lockhart until 2003, when she moved to Halstad. Delores developed a great relationship with her neighbors and enjoyed their company. On October 6, 2012, she entered the Bridges Care Community, Ada, and was under the loving care of Red River Valley Hospice.
Delores was a member of First English Lutheran Church, Lockhart, and a member with over 50 years of service with the VFW auxiliary.
