Jerome “Jerry” Langseth

Sept. 22, 1939-March 22, 2024

Williston

Jerome “Jerry” Langseth, 84, of Williston, ND passed away peacefully with his family by his side, on Friday, March 22, 2024, at Bethel Lutheran Home in Williston, ND.

Jerome was born on September 22, 1939, in Williston, North Dakota, to George and Bertha Marie (Johnson) Langseth. He grew up on a farm near Williston and in 1947, the family moved to Williston. After graduating from Dakota Lutheran Academy in Minot, he attended college at Lutheran Brother Institute in Minneapolis and Minot State to achieve his teaching certificate. He was teaching in Bainville, MT, where he met and married his love of almost 60 years, Darlene, on August 10, 1963. He taught and mentored many children in music in Bainville, MT; Fairview, MT; Laurel, MT; Baker, MT; Trenton, ND; and business classes in Epping, ND. After retiring from Epping to focus on farming, his love of music called him back to teaching at Trinity Christian in Williston; Niche, ND; Powers Lake, ND, and Watford City, ND.

He was a devoted husband and father who enjoyed sharing his love of art (especially his pheasants), raising cattle and farming with his father, sharing his faith and following his children and grandchildren’s activities. Along with Darlene, he enjoyed dancing, attending Sons of Norway, Lion’s Club and the Moose Club for many years. He was a Lifetime member of Pheasants Forever. He enjoyed hosting friends and family to share coffee and a treat.

Jerome may be gone from our sight but not our memories, and he may be gone from our touch but never our hearts.

The family greatly appreciates all the care Jerome received from Arbor House, Bethel Lutheran Home and CHI Williston.

He is survived by daughters, Ivadell (Rick) Tremmel, Angela (Dan) Beumer; son, Dirk (Amy) Langseth; grandchildren, Rachel and Mark Beumer; Jaymie Langseth, Mitchel Robertsdahl, Kerry and Kyle Heltemes; sisters, Jan (Charlie) Morrison, Marlene (Johnny) Herbst; numerous nieces and nephews.

Jerome was preceded in death by his parents, George and Bertha Marie; beloved wife, Darlene; and sister, Mavis Langseth.
