Evangeline Madonna Volk
was born on December 4,
1936 to Stephen and
Veronica (Adam) Volk in
Drake, ND. Angie was the
oldest of 11 children and
upon completion of 8th
grade she took on the
great responsibility of
helping to support her
family and care for her
younger siblings. On Oc-
tober 3, 1955 Angie was
united in marriage to
Clarence Blonigen. Over
the years, Clarence’s job
took them many different
places and they made
each one their home for a
short time. Angie held a
variety of jobs throughout
her life, but none as im-
portant as that of mother
to her children Mary Kay
& Dale. Angie’s children,
grandchildren and great
grandchildren were truly
the light of her life. She
imparted upon them the
wisdom and lessons only
the best of mothers and
grandmothers can share
and loved them beyond
any measure. Those who
knew Angie knew her as a
woman of strength and
immense faith. Her love
for the Lord surpassed
everything and it was her
most fervent prayer that
her family know and love
Jesus as she did. Angie
was a longtime member of
St. Cecelia’s parish in
Harvey, ND and was
currently a faithful
member of Sacred Heart
Catholic Church. Angie
was generous and giving,
always willing to share
her time and talents
through her extensive
volunteer work. She could
always be found fixing
hair at the nursing home,
running the hospital cof-
fee cart or answering the
call whenever something
was needed at her home
parish. Angie will be dee-
ply missed by her
daughter & son in law-
Mary & David Nelson,

sica) Nelson, Erin (Jeffrey)
Kummer, & Sara (Dean)
