Eugene
Snooks Aageson, 88, a longtime resident of Havre and Hill
County, died Thursday, April 6, 2006,
at the Benefis Care
Center in Great Falls.
His burial will
take place at 10 a.m. Maundy Thursday in Highland Cemetery.
His memorial service will follow at 11 a.m. at First Lutheran
Church.
Snooks
was born in Hingham
to Ella and Asmund Aageson. He helped operate the family farm until 1942, when
he married Laura Miller and they purchased their own farm at Fairchild.
Snooks
was a member of Goldstone
Lutheran Church
and helped build and remodel that church. When Snooks and Laura's children were
of school age, the family moved to Havre, where they were active members of First Lutheran
Church. Snooks served on
many church boards and always enjoyed working at First Lutheran's annual
lutefisk dinner.
In later years,
Snooks and Laura built a home in West Glacier. Snooks was
an avid golfer and loved to travel during the winters, visiting most of the United States and Hawaii. He and Laura traveled twice to
Europe and especially enjoyed visiting family in England
and Norway.
Snooks was devoted to his family and proud of his Montana roots. His wide
circle of friends included golfing partners, fellow farmers and members of his
church and community.
Snooks had
suffered from Alzheimer's disease the last several years and his death followed
one week to the day of the death of his wife, Laura Aageson. The disease that
robbed him of his last years of life meant a very long goodbye for his family.
Snooks
was preceded in death by his siblings, Wallace Aageson, Arvin Aageson, Lorraine Aageson
Gorham and Nan Aageson Nokleberg.
Survivors include
his children, James (Julie) Aageson of Moorhead,
Minn., Rachel Aageson of
Kalispell and Mark (Carrie) Aageson of Havre; and seven grandchildren.
Memorials may be
made to the First
Lutheran Church
in Havre or to the Alzheimer's Association.
Arrangements have
been entrusted to Holland & Bonine Funeral Home.
