Obituary

MOUNT HOREB - Evelyne Irene Midthun passed away on Friday, Jan. 21, 2022. She was born on the family farm in Almena, Wis., to George and Eva Kunkel. She graduated from Cumberland High School and Rice Lake Teachers College. She married Tenney Midthun on the same family farm. Together, they lived in southern Wisconsin throughout their lifetimes.


Evelyne ran the family business until the day she died. She was also a longtime Sunday School teacher at Springdale Lutheran Church and a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary for many years.


She is survived by two sons, Tom (Kitty) and Bruce (Renee); a daughter, Kay; four granddaughters, Lori Midthun (Stuart Mitchell), Amy Midthun, Ileah (Joe) Henchel and Marina Midthun; five great-grandchildren; and one sister, Joyce (Gary) Smith. She was preceded in death by her husband, Tenney; her parents; and three sisters.


Due to the pandemic, a private service will be held for immediate family members only.


The family would like to give special thanks to Heartland Country Village in Black Earth for their excellent and compassionate care provided to Evelyne.

Hello everyone and so very sorry to hear of Evelyne's passing. What a wonderful long life she had. I have many fond memories of Evey, the earliest being her taking such good care of Tenney when he became ill. She always needed a third eye keeping Bruce and I in check whenever we got into mischief on those weekend play days on the farm. Her driving us home from a high school play in the middle of a blizzard was certainly a challenge for her, but we made it. And, then, there was the discovery of the large pit we dug in a newly plowed field searching for old medicine bottles that almost put her over the edge. Somehow we survived. I am so thrilled that Evey could spend the majority of her life on that beautiful farmstead and I thought of her every time I passed on the nearby highway and marveled at what loving care she took of that place. Know that I am thinking of you in these days ahead. Brian J. Bigler
