Claudine Brown

77, Minot, passed peace-

fully Thursday, June 13,

2019 in a Velva Nursing

Care Center.

Claudine was born on

October 2, 1941 in

Bismarck, North Dakota

the daughter of Aldus and

Ester Mae (Thorton) Jen-

sen. She was raised on a

farm south of Sterling, ND

and was educated in

Bismarck, graduating from

Bismarck High School in

1959.

She was once married

to Richard Brown. This

union was blessed with

seven children. In fact,

she had a few favorites if

we are being honest.

Those on that exclusive

list in no particular order

were Claudia, Bennie,

Danny, Charlene, Vicki,

Annette and Eugene.

Claudine was employed

with Northland Bus Com-

pany in Minot for over 35

years, where she enjoyed

driving bus for the Host-

fest Scandinavian Festival

each year. She retired in

2006.

Claudine had a faith

filled heart. She attended

many bible studies hosted

by Pastor Dan Chell, loved

to sing and listen to gos-

pel music. In addition to

her duties as the best

mother on earth, Claudine

also enjoyed crocheting,

decorating cakes, dancing,

sewing and caring for her

pet dogs. Her infectious

smile was known to light

up a room and brighten

your day. She often in-

cluded ‘I Love You’ in

conversations because she

felt everyone needed to be

told those precious words.

Claudine will be deeply

missed by all who shared

in her precious life; most-

ly by her seven blessings

that called her Mom,

Momma, Mommy and by

her everlasting signature,

Mon.
