Betty Delorme | 1949 – 2016
Betty Delorme, age 67 of Dunseith, died Thursday at a Minneapolis hospital. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, December 1, 2016 at 10:00 A.M. in St. Michaels Catholic Church in Dunseith. Burial will be at St. Mary’s Cemetery of rural Dunseith. A wake will be held on Wednesday beginning at 6:00 P.M. with a prayer service at 8:00 P.M. in the church.
Betty was born to Joseph J. and Delores L. (Davis) Peltier in Belcourt, North Dakota, on November 1, 1949. She was the first born of eleven children and her parents were very proud her as their daughter, and of the woman that she was. She attended her early school years at the Dunseith Day School, and later completed grades 9 through 12 at St. Joseph’s Academy for Girls in Crookston, Minnesota, and graduated from high school there on May 24, 1968.
Betty was United in marriage to Larry Delorme at St. Mary’s Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Dunseith, North Dakota on November 15, 1969. Betty and Larry shared many happy years together and they were blessed with a daughter – Carolyn Marie. Over the last several years, Betty’s special companion was Robert ‘Bob’ Gunville, and together they were blessed with a son – Scott William James. She was also a devoted and loving Grandmother to Hallie, Hemmie, and the twins – Hunter and Willie, Jr.
Betty was a modest person, so she didn’t talk about her accomplishments including her college course work and the degrees she received. She obtained a Certificate as a Clerk Typist in 1989; and graduated from TMCC with an A.A.S. Degree in 1990. She continued college at UTTC in Bismarck, North Dakota, and received an L.P.N. Degree on May 8, 1997.
Betty had a strong work ethic and was employed from the time she graduated high school to the time she retired from the I.H.S. Hospital in Belcourt, North Dakota in November 2011. Prior to her work at I.H.S., Betty worked at San Haven State Hospital for 19 years until its closing.
Betty enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, Craft Making, and being with family for all of life’s events and celebrations. Betty was the Matriarch to her brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews, and she will be greatly missed by those who loved her and knew her.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Delorme; her parents, Delores and Joseph Peltier; and nephews, Robert Peltier and Logan Herrera.
Gary and Bernadette Stokes’ 38th Wedding anniversary.
We had a wonderful Anniversary prime Rib buffet dinner at the Marriott Hotel. Following our dinner, as I mention below, we stopped by our friends house for a party they were having for a group of their friends. Bernadette was getting tired so we didn’t stay too long. We had a good day.

Hi Gary
Happy to know you are back home and on line again. Hope you don’t mind the 5 comments below and maybe you can answer some of the ?s below.
1. I really enjoy your mailings because most of them have names I remember. Names like Margaret Seim, my mother could have been her teacher because she taught in a one room country school in the hills by Dunseith. Margaret could have been in 1st. grade before we moved to Devils Lake. If she has older brothers they very well could have had my mother for a teacher because I remember the Seim name. It could have been her Mother & Dad knowing my folks that I remember the Seim name from so I am not sure on this one. Since she went to school at Notre Dame I would guess that was the Catholic school in Willow City so she would know Carmen Leonard since she and her sister Carole also went to Notre Dame.
2. Would Jess Hosmer be Bob’s sister? Gary’s reply – Jess Hosmer is married to Bob’s brother Don.
3. In this Obit. I see two Azures from Devils Lake. I could not find Damian or Melanie in our phone book. I have a friend Martin (Chip) Azure in Devils Lake so I will ask him about these two.
4. The Grimme’s: My Mother was a very good friend of Kathleen Grimme and I think her husband was Carl. Conley and I would play when the folks would visit at each others homes. Conley was a little older then me and I think Bill Grimme was like Dave Shelver, born a few years after their brothers. I would guess since Carl and Conley were big people. Bill Grimme is on the right in the picture below. Gary’s reply – Yes Bill and his twin siblings, Gwen and Greg are Conley’s siblings, children of Carl and Kathleen. I don’t remember Conley, but I do remember Carl. Bill, like his dad, carries a larger frame, but not obese. Bill and I are 65 class mates. Gwen & Greg were with the class of 68.
5. Is Bill Leonard Janice’s brother or a relation to me? We have a Bill Leonard in our family from Rolette. Gary’s reply – From what your cousin, Carmen Leonard Richard and the Leonard’s from Dunseith have told me, you guys are two separate families.

Hi Gary, I’m pretty sure that I am the other girl in the photo (yesterdays message). I remember that wedding and even recognize the dress. We should wish Lola Metcalfe Vanorny a belated Happy Birthday! It was her birthday on the 21st. Toni Morinville Gredesky Toni, I just had a good chat with our first cousin, Jean Pladson from up in the hills. She mentioned going to Lunch with your sister Bev and Cheryl Larson Dakin last week at Dale’s.
