Nellie R. Munden
Formerly of Wallowa and La Grande
1929-2011
Nellie R. Munden, 82, of Milton-Freewater and formerly of Wallowa, died Dec. 21 at Providence St. Mary Medical Center in Walla Walla due to injuries sustained in an accident. The family is planning a private family memorial service in Richland later. They will place her cremains with her beloved husband, Lee J. Munden, and her parents.
Nellie was born May 7, 1929, in Richland, the youngest of 11 children to T.L. and Bertha O. Makinson Morris. She attended schools in Richland and Baker City.
She married Lee J. Munden on April 28, 1944. Nellie and her husband lived in Milton-Freewater from 1945-1967 when they sold the Horseshoe Club and relocated to Wallowa, living there until 1973. They owned homes in La Grande and Richland until 1997 when they began traveling for several years.
In 2000, they returned to the Milton-Freewater area. During those years, they were temporary parents for many children other than their own, whom they said they loved dearly.
She spent her time caring for her husband until he died in 2005, and then became the primary caregiver for her eldest son.
She spent much of her time tending to her yard and garden as well as crafting and sewing. She often shared stories about how much she enjoyed her conversations with early morning walkers and took much pride in the appearance of her yard. Hosting visits from her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren gave her much joy.
Nellie is survived by five sons, Thomas, Dale and his wife, Carol, and Gale and his wife, Carolyn, who all live in the Walla Walla/Milton-Freewater area, Danuel and his wife, Moni, of Boise, and Norman North and his wife, Linda, of Redmond, Wash.; six grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and three great-nephews.
Memorial contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Foundation or the Parkinson's Disease Foundation in care of the Munselle-Rhodes Funeral Home, 902 S. Main, Milton-Freewater, OR 97862.
