March 25, 1927 - November 9, 2018 Eldon Lowell Farner, 91, passed away at home in Albany, Oregon, on November 9, 2018. He was surrounded by family as he left his earthly body for heaven. He was born March 25, 1927, in Wakefield, Nebraska, as the youngest child of Frank and Maude Farner. His family eventually settled in Caldwell, Idaho, where he attended high school. Upon graduating in 1945 he enlisted in the Army. He served in Germany until the fall of 1946.

Eldon returned to Caldwell where he met and fell in love with Naomi Richards. They would have celebrated 70 years of marriage this past summer. During their courtship and early marriage he received his degree in education from The College of Idaho.

Eldon and Naomi moved to Owatonna, Minnesota, for a couple of years to be near Naomi’s family before moving to Oregon to teach in Prineville and Nyssa, finally settling in Albany to raise their children. He had a heart for teaching and loved instructing, whether it was in the classroom or on the sports field. He continued his education with a Master’s degree from Oregon State University which he used to go into administration.

Eldon worked at all three Middle Schools in Albany, as well as Santiam Christian School. He and Naomi served the community through Hospice for many years. They began their love for the Lord in 1974 and Eldon taught, volunteered, and served as a Board member at Hope Church (formerly First Assembly of God) for 44 years. He was known by his family and church for persistently praying. Eldon was a fan of many sports and enjoyed watching the Minnesota Vikings and the OSU Beavers. Going to Beaver football and basketball games was especially enjoyable. Eldon loved playing golf with his family and friends and encouraged all his grandchildren to take up the game. He loved his orange and black golf cart.

Eldon was preceded in death by his parents, wife Naomi, brothers Harry, William, and Robert, and sisters Henrietta and Bette. Eldon is survived by his children; Monte (Jane) Farner, Ron (Patricia) Farner, Cindy (Greg) Loberg, Paula (Lonni) Roth; and Linda (Vernie) Stieglbauer; sister Maude Patch; 11 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, 4 great-great grandchildren and one on the way; and many nephews, nieces, and wonderful friends.

Bruce Featherstone
South St. Paul, Minnesota
August 22, 1945 - September 15, 2020

Bruce Glenn Featherstone was born August 22, 1945 in Red Wing MN to Glenn and Enid Featherstone. He graduated from Red Wing High School in 1963 and attended Mankato State University. He became a small aircraft flight instructor, a salesman at Cenex and Stanley Doors, and later owned his own business out of Prescott Wisconsin called Valley Supply. He then worked for Emerson corporation and retired in 2009.

Bruce was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. He loved his family more than life and was so incredibly proud of every one of his children and grandchildren. Bruce was a man who was loved by all. He had countless lifelong friends, and if you had just met Bruce, you considered him a friend from that point on. His friends would recall him as a caring, happy, always smiling, and ready to sit down and have a cup of coffee with pal. A true friend that would do anything to help you out and just listen to your stories.

Bruce had a unique ability to fix and solve any problem. Whether this was car troubles, house maintenance or any mechanical issues. Bruce could fix it, solve it, build it or find a replacement for it. He had a collection of over 50 vehicles throughout his life, numerous boats, snowmobiles, three wheelers, four wheelers, scooters, tractors, golf carts, trailers; basically, anything that had a motor, he owned it at some point in his life. His endless collection of tools and trinkets in his shed was something he took great pride in. He was always willing to lend anything he had to help you fix whatever you needed.
Growing up on the family farm in Red Wing taught him the value of hard work, self reliance, fixing things when they were broken and the value of taking care of your things. Bruce was a very prideful man. Bruce loved golfing, boating, snowmobiling, flying, tinkering around in his garage and shed, washing his cars, mowing the lawn, plowing snow, and spoiling his grandchildren. His grandchildren would all agree he was a lover of sweets; ice cream especially and would never tell them no when they asked for that special treat, even if it was for breakfast.

Bruce is survived by his wife Linda, married 49 years, sons Greg (Pam), Christopher (Jessica), Dustin (Sarah), and daughter Briana (Ole). Bruce had nine grandchildren Jonathan (25) (fiancé Ally), Soren (15), Kira (13), Tegan (13), Chloe (11), Garson (10), Henry (9), Izzy (7), and Annelise (4). His Brother Don (Barb) and sister Julie (Chuck) nieces and nephews and close friends. He is preceded in death by his parents Glenn and Enid Featherstone and sister Joy McLean.

A Full Memorial Service will be planned for Saturday October 24 at 2:00 pm. The address is 13840 Point Douglas Drive, Hastings, MN 55033. This is an outdoor venue so be prepared for weather variations.²
