Loretta “Lollie” Sharon Gulsvig was born November 18, 1940 to Silas Odin and Nora Jeanette (Trygstad) Gulsvig in Britton, SD. She attended various schools while growing up and graduated from Kidder High School in 1958 Following graduation she attended Northern State College in Aberdeen studying business.
On March 26, 1961 Lollie married Dean LeRoy Enderson at Pleasant Valley Lutheran Church in Kidder. They made their home in Britton. Dean and Lollie were part owners of Britton Lumber and she worked as the bookkeeper for a number of years. She then worked as a clerk at Dakins Pharmacy until her health required her to retire.
Lollie lost her husband Dean in October 1998. She remained in Britton after his passing but began spending the winters in Arizona. In 2001 she made her home in Apache Junction, AZ year round and would come back to visit family and friends in the summer months. In 2020 she moved to Oakes, ND to be closer to family.
She was a member of the First Lutheran Church of Britton, was part of the Auxiliary and was a big advocate for Relay of Life, which was close to her heart. Lollie and Dean would frequently play Saturday night pinochle with friends. In her free time she enjoyed golfing, dancing and bowling. She was a social butterfly. When she moved to Arizona, she would ride around the park and talk to anyone who was out and about. She wouldn’t admit it, but she did enjoy the nursing home and visiting with the other residents and staff as well!
Lollie passed away Friday, April 28, 2023 at Good Samaritan Society in Oakes, at the age of 82.
