Obituary
Marilyn Bobbie Whitney left this world on Nov. 24th 2008. She was the last of the ‘Stemhagen’ girls born and raised in Valley City N.D. They were very proud to be 100% Norwegian. Bobbie was preceded in death by her 3 sisters over the years, all of whom are at rest in Valley City. She will be joining them, and her mother and father. Most
recently she was preceded by her grandaughter Misty who passed away in Dec. of last year. Bobbie went thru high school in Valley City but moved to western Wa. a few years later where she lived and worked for over 50 years. Over the years she belonged to many different organizations:Moose, Elks, American Legion, and the Son’s of Norway. She excelled at everything she did from cooking and canning to prize winning flower arrangements, knitting and crocheting, and won many a blue ribbon. She never complained, loved
animals, the out of doors, and most of all, people. She always had a joke for everyone, and was always the life of the party. She will be dearly missed by many. She is survived by her daughter Suzanne, and
grandson Scott. God knew she was tired at age 90 and took her home to rest.
Bobbie and The Stemhagens girls were my moms close friends. Sorry we lost touch. I know they are all together now having a good laugh.
