Inga Kelner's Obituary
Inga Kluksdal Kelner, 89, of Bowman, ND, passed away on Thursday, August 22, 2013 at Southwest Healthcare Hospital. Funeral services will be at 10:00 AM at Peace Lutheran Church on Saturday, August 24, 2013. Pastor Mary Peterson will officiate. Burial will be at Peace Lutheran Cemetery immediately following the service.
Inga was born January 24, 1924 to Martin and Ingeborg Kluksdal on the family farm in Bowman County. She graduated from Scranton High School in 1942. Because of WW II and the shortage of farm workers, she helped her parents on the farm for several years. She also earned a teacher's certificate from Dickinson State Teacher's College and taught in Dickinson and several rural schools in Bowman County.
Inga married Harold Kelner in Peace Lutheran Church on November 24, 1950. They farmed and ranched on the Kelner family farm until retiring in 1985, then moved to Scranton. Since October 2012, Harold and Inga resided at Southwest Healthcare Long-Term Care.
She was proud of her Norwegian heritage and cherished her travels to Norway. She loved music, especially enjoyed singing in choirs, at weddings and other special occasions. Inga was involved with many activities at Peace Lutheran Church including Afternoon Circle, Mission Quilting, and Parish Education. She was also active with Friendship Homemaker's Club, Retired Teachers Association, Southwest Healthcare Auxiliary, American Legion Auxiliary, and the Scranton Cancer Support Group.
Inga is survived by daughter Karen (Jerry) Bobeldyk of St. Joseph, MN; sons Mark (Tenny) Kelner of Reeder and Neal (Ila) Kelner of Bowman; grandchildren Angela (David) Deen, John Bobeldyk, Eric Kelner, Lindsey (James) Fettig, Blake Kelner, Taylor Kelner, Chase (Megan) Kelner and Sara Kelner; and great-grandchildren Hunter and Kade Fettig, and Cora Deen.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Harold on May 1, 2013; sister Anne Susag and brother Nils Kluksdal.
