Ronnie Iverson

tober 28th, 2019 Ronnie

Iverson of White Earth,

ND passed away at the

age of 78.

Ronnie Jerry Iverson

was born at home to Louis

and Dorothy Iverson on

August 4, 1941 in Farm-

vale Township, White

Earth, ND.

On December 1, 1962,

he married Rena Ander-

son at First Lutheran

Church in White Earth.

Theirs was the last wed-

ding before the church

was remodeled.

Ronnie and Rena made

their home in White Earth

and raised five children:

Ronda, Roxane, Cindy,

Jared and Aaron. Their

oldest daughter, Ronda,

passed away in 1966 at

the age of 2¢, which was

a devastating loss for

them.

Ronnie started his

career with Great Plains,

then worked for Rousta-

bout Services for 13 years

before he began his

life-long career at Amera-

da Hess in Tioga, ND. He

worked for 31 years as a

project manager until his

retirement. Although a

humble man, his family is

proud of his many ac-

complishments. To name

a few, he supervised the

installation of the BLDU

Central, its facilities, its

satellites and numerous

flowlines. All the lan-

downers recognized his

hard work and ethical

treatment towards them.

His co-workers said it was

a pleasure to work with

him and were sad to see

him retire.

Farming was also a big

part of his life. Ronnie

and his brother Raymond

started farming their

Grandma Julia’s land as

well as the Iverson family

farm after their father’s

death. In later years

Ronnie’s nephew, Jason,

joined the farming opera-

tion.

He loved taking his

family on yearly trips to

Medora, South Dakota

(especially Rockerville)

and the State Fair in

Minot. He enjoyed hunt-

ing, summer fishing and

ice fishing.

Ronnie was a faithful

prayer warrior, interced-

ing over an ever-growing

prayer list every night. He

was a dedicated husband,

father, grandfather and

great-grandfather. Ronnie

was always concerned

that his loved ones were

safe and sound. He will be

sadly missed.

Ronnie had a fun sense

of humor, was soft spo-

ken, and was private. His

favorite tv shows were

Country Music Reunion

and Larry’s Country

Diner.
