In Loving Memory Of

For Everything There is a Season
For everything there is a season.
A time for the pangs of birth
and a time for the painful decisions of
adolescence.
A time for graham cracker crumbs ground
under foot
and a time for packing cookies off to a
college dorm.
A time for the trapped despair of little ones
constantly demanding attention and time
when planning time together as a family
seems hopeless.
For everything there is a season.
A time for sticky kisses and unabashed
hugs and a time for stately roses on your
birthday.
A time of folding countless diapers
and a time of patching countless jeans.
A time for teaching a toddler to fold his
hands for grace and a time for hearing the
firm vows of your young confirmed.
For everything there is a season.
Each season holds its share of joy and each
has its share of anguish.
Each is made to be lived to the fullest,
… a gift of God.

Mom had a contagious can-do attitude and a youthful mischievous spirit. Her favorite joys came from time spent with family and friends. Whether it was making lefse, decorating Christ-mas cookies, grinding horseradish, sledding, pick-ing crocuses, golfing at the P.P. Country Club, or just sitting down for coffee. Each gathering was filled with fun and laughter. Mom is now with her loving husband Dick, her parents Ruth and Wendell Brodhead, sisters Irma and Cathy, brother-in-law Ordean Solberg, Mother and Father-in-law Bertha and Iver Sundheim, and sister-in-law Betty Lou Paw-lowski. She is survived by: daughter, Rhonda (Tim) Cayko of Fairview; sons, Scott (Cindy) Sundheim, Jeff Sundheim(Mary Friesz) all of Sioux Pass, and Eric (Carmen) Sundheim of Le-ander, TX; grandchildren, Adam and Ethan Cay-ko, Chance (Rachel) Leininger and Chase (Catie) Leininger, Zachary Sundheim, Ashley and Rachel Sasich, Chad, Cody, and Amber Friesz, and Kade and Karlee Sundheim; great grandson, Brody and soon to come Graysen Leininger; sister and broth-er-in-law, Renee and Bob Sundheim; brother and sister-in-law, Leon and Myrna Brodhead; also, numerous nieces and nephews who were always made to feel like her own children. We could not have asked for a better mother, mentor, or friend. You and Dad truly taught us what the important things in life really are. We can only hope that we leave the same leg-acy of friendship and love that you and Dad have left for all of us.
“It’s been good, it’s been very, very good.”
On the afternoon of June 11, 2012, at 4:30 pm, the same time that for years our Dad stopped his work to come in for coffee he came again from his eternal work to take our beloved mother with him to meet with other precious loved ones and her Lord and Savior. Audry Catherine was born on August 21, 1941 at the Brodhead family home in Fair-view. She was delivered by her grandmother Catherine and welcomed by parents Ruth and Wendell, sister Irma and brother Leon. She was later joined by sisters Renee and Cathy. Audry and her siblings grew up on the hill overlooking Fairview. There they could ride their sleds down the hill all the way to Main Street, go horseback riding, enjoy picnics at Table Rock, and go climbing on Sugar Hill. With the help of her big brother and a long piece of rope she learned to swim in the canal. Growing up in Fairview she met many lifelong friends. She was active in Girl Scouts, cheerleading, FHA, Pep Club, Drama Club, she played drums in the band and sang in the choir. This is also where she met the love of her life. Audry and Dick were married on September 6, 1959. Their love still continues to this day through their four children Rhonda, Scott, Jeff, and Eric. The newlyweds made their first home in the basement of Grandpa Iver and Grandma Bertha’s house on the farm at Sioux Pass until their own home was built four years later. Living so close Audry and Bertha de-veloped a special friendship and bond. Along with Bertha, Audry found several outlets for her creative talents in sewing, ceramics, and deco-rating wedding cakes. Whatever she did she was determined to do it well. Audry was a leader in many areas, at Zion Lutheran she served as the first female council member, she organized spring bazaars and many fundraising suppers. For many years she was a Sunday school teach-er, Christmas program director, and led many other church activities. She also touched the lives of many young children as the teacher of the Sunshine Preschool for twelve years. But, probably her greatest talent was making each of her own children and grandchil-dren feel as though they were her personal fa-vorite.
