                           Vianora L. Feldt

Funeral services for Vianora L. Feldt, 83, a lifelong resident of
St. Ansgar, Iowa, were held on Thursday, Jan. 15, 2004 at the Immanuel
Lutheran Church, St. Ansgar. The Rev. Byron Northwick officiated.

Burial was at St. Johns Cemetery, Rock Township, Mitchell County, Iowa.
Vianora died Monday, Jan. 12, 2004 at the hospice unit at Mitchell County
Regional Health Center, Osage, Iowa.

Vianora was born April 28, 1920 in Rock Township, Mitchell County, Iowa,
to Henry and Elizabeth (Neuman) Wilde. She was baptized in the Christian
faith on May 16, 1920 and confirmed on March 25, 1934 at St. Johns Lutheran
Church, Rock Township. She attended rural Rock Township School.

Vianora was united in marriage to Allen William Feldt on March 16, 1945
in Rochester, Minnesota. They farmed in rural Rock Township, Mitchell County,
until Allen's death in 1960, from then on she farmed with the help of her
family. As she retired she enjoyed gardening, quilting and reading, but
her families enjoyment was her cookie baking skills that were enjoyed by
all. The crowning joy of her life was her grandchildren Al, Ray and Sher.

As Mike joined Sher in the family, her pride only increased. Their union
gave her two great-grandchildren to fuss over and spoil. She derived much
peace as she was administered to in the hospital by Ray's special friend
Sue.

Vianora was preceded in death by her parents, husband, four brothers,
Ferdinand, Roy, Arnold and Elmer and two sisters, Wilma Hackbart and Alice
Kuntz.

She is survived by her son Charles and wife Diane of rural St. Ansgar;
grandson Allen of Toeterville, Iowa; granddaughter Sherry and husband
Mike Marr, great-grandchildren Abby and Mitchel of rural Riceville, Iowa;
grandson Ray of Toeterville and special friend Sue Merton of Stacyville,
Iowa, one brother, Irvin Wilde and wife Irene of Osage; sisters-in-law
Rose Wilde, Loreen Wilde and Ruth Wilde all of Osage.

Schroeder & Sites Funeral Home, St. Ansgar, Iowa, 641-732-4920, was in
charge of arrangements.
