Evelyn Opgrand
Evelyn Ellen Opgrand, 85, Grand Forks, ND, died Wednesday, September 1, 2010, at Tufte Manor in Grand Forks. She was born on June 16, 1925 to Harry and Lucille (Leeper) Tinnel at Council Bluff, IA. Evelyn grew up and attended school in rural Waubun.
In June of 1942, Evelyn was united in marriage to Marvin Hasz at Waubun, MN. They were blessed with four children: Janice, Judith, Katherine and Daniel. Together they farmed near Borup, MN. Marvin died in a tragic accident in 1959. Evelyn married Norman Johnson in about 1960. They were blessed with a daughter, Sheila. They lived and farmed east of Ada, MN.

Following Carlton's passing, Evelyn moved to Grand Forks, ND. On December 4, 2009, she moved into the Tufte Manor.
Over the years, Evelyn had been employed in food services, holding positions from management to cook. This work complimented Evelyn because she loved to cook.
