Mathilde Blomseth, age 100, of Twin Valley, MN died peacefully on Monday, July 3, 2017 at the Twin Valley Living Center, Twin Valley.

Mathilde Bertha Blomseth, the daughter of Marius and Borghild (Bjervik) Sether, was born August 22, 1916 at Halstad, Minnesota. While growing up, Mathilde attended District Nine Grade School. She graduated high school from Halstad High School and went on to attend Moorhead Sate College. On November 12, 1935, Mathilde married the love of her life Elvin Blomseth at Fargo, ND and the couple made their home on a farm near Halstad. In 1949, they moved to a farm east of Twin Valley, which they owned and operated until the fall of 1971. During their marriage, Mathilde and Elvin were blessed with three sons, which were very special to them. They moved off of the farm to town in 1971 to start their retirement years.

Mathilde was a member of Wild Rice Lutheran Church, rural Twin Valley. She was very proud of her work at the Lutheran Memorial Home for 17 years of her life. She loved spending time with her family, participating in church groups, reading, and making quilts. Mathilde also enjoyed wintering in Texas with Elvin for many years. After Elvin's death in 1996, Mathilde continued to live in her own home until the age of 97 at which time she moved into the Twin Valley Living Center.

She is survived by three sons: Ronald (Marilyn) Shoreview, MN, Clayton, Naples, FL, and Wallace (Linda), Twin Valley; five grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild.

Preceding her in death were her parents; her husband; one daughter, Evangelyn; one great-grandson, Brady; four sisters: Lillian, Judith, Hazel, and Violet; and one brother, Joe.
