Leo Tollefsrud, 79, of Ulen, MN died Friday, March 22, 2013 in Sanford Palliative Care, Fargo, ND.

Leo O. Tollefsrud was born May 2, 1933 the son of Henry and Selma (Orwald) Tollefsrud near Ulen. He was the third of six children. Leo was baptized at the North Synod Church in Ulen and confirmed his faith at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Ulen, where he was a lifelong member. He attended country school at District 68 through the eighth grade, then Ulen High School, graduating with the class of 1951.

Due to his fathers' ill health and death, Leo continued living on the farm with his brother, Marvin. They raised grain and cattle, which was Leo's greatest love. He was a quiet and shy man, but loved what he was doing. His cattle were his pets.

Leo is survived by his brothers, Marvin of Ulen, MN and Delmon of Frontenac, MN; a sister, Shirley (Harlan) Wentz of Hitterdal, MN; a sister-in-law, Sonja Tollefsrud of Hawley, MN and many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Allen and Lowell (who was killed in the Korean War); sister-in-law, Jean Tollefsrud and a nephew, little David Tollefsrud.

Bless his memory. Leo is now at peace.
