David Allen Armstrong,

son of Howard and Mabel

(Foss) Armstrong was

born on Memorial Day,

May 30, 1949 in Rolette

ND. He attended Rolette

Public School and gra-

duated from Rolette High

School with the class of

1967. He continued his

education at Bottineau

School of Forestry and

North Dakota State

University where he en-

joyed membership in the

Co-op House.

Dave was united in

marriage to Stephanie

Mongeon on October 6,

1973 at Sacred Heart

Catholic Church in

Rolette where he was an

active member of the

church and served as the

Sexton of the Sacred

Heart Cemetery for many

years.

They established their

home on the family farm,

raised their beautiful

daughter April, farmed

side by side and raised re-

gistered Suffolk sheep.

He farmed the land that

he loved until health is-

sues forced him to retire

in 2014. Dave a faithful

steward of the land, took

meticulous care of his

lawn, bin site, and flower

beds. In 2004, in partner-

ship with his wife, they

purchased the

Gilbertson-Gloger Funeral

Home in Devils Lake ND.

One of Dave’s greatest

joys came when he be-

came “Papa Dave” to his

grandchildren Jenay and

Ephram. They were the

light of his life, his pride

and joy.

Dave’s passions were

John Deere, Ford, and

NDSU Bison Football. In

retirement he enjoyed

breakfast at Linda’s with

the gang and golf at

Rolette Country Club.

Through the many

health issues Dave faced

these past years, he was

only able to stay in his

beloved home, “the farm”

because of the wonderful

support of family, neigh-

bors, friends and his spe-

cial caregiver Tracy Casa-

vant.

Dave’s loving family in-

clude his daughter April

and her husband Victor

Boucher of Bemidji MN

and grandchildren Jenay

and Ephram Boucher also

of Bemidji; his wife

Stephanie of Devils Lake;

in-laws Laurel and Wayne

Terry, Battle Lake MN,

Wendel and Donna

Mongeon, Fargo ND, Gail

and Chuck Tastad, Rolette

ND, Lisa and Jim Olson,

Underwood ND and Sandi

Mongeon, Rugby ND;

beloved nieces, nephews

and their families and

many dear cousins.

He was preceded in

death by his Dad and

Mom, sister Elaine,

brother-in-law Kenton

Mongeon and

father-in-law and

mother-in-law Eugene and

Jeane Mongeon.

For this one farmer the

worries are over, lie down

and rest your head. Your

time has been and strug-

gles enough, put the trac-

tor in the shed.

Memorials may be

directed to Sacred Heart

Catholic Church or Valle

Lutheran Church both in
