Mary Louise Nold

May 26, 1938 — February 19, 2017

Mary Louise Nold, 78, of Fergus Falls, gained her eternal wings on Sunday, February 19, 2017, peacefully at her home.

Mary Louise (Orstad) Nold was born May 26, 1938, to A. E. “Ovie” and Eleanore (Carlson) Orstad in Fergus Falls, MN. Mary moved from her home town of Fergus Falls, MN to New York, where she became an airline stewardess for Braniff Airlines. It is there she met Roy Crandall and together they had a daughter, Robin. After Roy’s life was cut short due to an auto accident, Mary and Robin returned to Fergus Falls. There she met and married Jeffrey Dosen, and together they had a son, Tony. Jeff lost his battle with cancer leaving Mary with two small children. Mary met William (Bill) Nold of Wahpeton ND, and were married October 31, 1969, in Webster, SD. Bill with his 3 sons, Bill Jr, Kevin, and Dennis; and Mary along with Robin and Tony, combined their families. Together Bill and Mary’s union welcomed their son, Michael into their lives, completing their family and all together they called Wahpeton home.

Mary held various positions throughout her life but will be most remembered as being the Director of the Wahpeton Senior Citizens Center for many years. The Nold family spent summers on Wall Lake and eventually made it their home. They enjoyed spending their evenings socializing with their close friends and weekly engagements at the Elks Club.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, her in-laws George and Helen Nold and granddaughter Mallie Ann Breuer.
