Mementos

Mark was born on May 1, 1954 in Carrington, North Dakota to Elmer and Esther Ordahl Hjelseth. He died in Tacoma, Washington on December 5, 2013 following a struggle with cancer. He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by a sister, Tannis Walton, many cousins, and two aunts, Florence March and Evangeline Billingsley. Mark enjoyed the great outdoors while fishing, hunting, and rock climbing. His career was in construction as a general contractor and a project cost manager. Mark left the following messages for his friends and relatives: Tannis – I wish you happiness and hope your life is a very full one. “Find the woods, the river, and nature for peace.” My Friends – Memories of times together will never leave me. I love you all very much and wish you all peace. My relatives – You will always be in my heart. You always corrected me when I needed it, and loved me still. The family would like to thank Pam and Richard Berg for the time, care and love they gave to Mark while he was in Nevada. Thank you also to Gregg for when you gave Mark a ride to his doctor appointments when his sister was unable to take him. A big thank you to Barbara Billingsley who opened her heart and house to Mark, so he could enjoy the last two months of his life with his family. A remembrance service will be held on January 5, 2014 at the home of a cousin. For information concerning this date please email [email protected].
