Florence McDonald Ladd, 89 years young, passed away on Feb. 18, 2010, in Polson, in the wee hours of the morning, after a long fight with a bad heart. Florence had a young heart and a bad carcass. Her firm and unwavering hope was to rest in death and be received in the resurrection; and work cleaning up the Earth she loved, alongside her children who share her faith and hope. She was baptized as one of Jehovah s Witnesses in 1943, dedicating her life to sharing her faith and hope with everyone she could while instilling this faith in her children. She is survived by five of her six children, Laurel Wehr, Patty Nelson, Carole Thuesen, Debbie Olson, and Roy Ladd; 17 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren. She will be missed, and until we see you again, Good sleep. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. today, Feb. 20, at the Jehovah s Witnesses Kingdom Hall, 1415 S. Woodland Dr., Kalispell. A reception will follow the service at the Flathead County Fairground s Country Kitchen in Kalispell. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family online at www.groganfuneralhome.com.
