Laura Fassett Halvorson passed away 3-4 years ago, not sure the exact date as we did not get an obituary of her and time goes so fast it is hard to remember it.
She was married to Luella’s brother Arthur.

Floyd, I am sorry to hear of Laura’s passing. I remember talking to her well too. I have pasted my reply below that I posted at that time. Thanks, Gary
PS – I was unable to find a death record or obituary for Laura.

Folks, putting the class of 1933 together, I got in touch with Laura Fassett Halvorson from that class. I think, at the age of 92, she may be the only surviving member of that class. She was married to Art Halvorson (Deceased). Laura lives alone in her house. She recently gave her car to her daughter-in-law. She said she could still drive but with her age decided to quit driving. She has a sharp mind and remembers Dunseith well. Even though she has had 7 surgeries in her life time, she said when she goes to the doctor, they can’t find anything wrong with her.
 
Floyd/Luella Halvorson Dion, she thinks the world of you guys and had nothing but good words to say about you folks. Curt, Terry & Connie Halvorson, she mentioned you guys too. She also mentioned her husband Art’s younger brother, Lester. When talking to Laura, one would never guess that she is 92 years old. Gary

Folks, These are a few pictures from our Expat dinner this past Friday at the Cebu Marriot pool side bar and grill with about 40 folks attending. We do these dinners once a month at different locations. The ladies (hosts) take their turns choosing locations. Lorna was this months host and chose the Marriot. Lorna is Rose’s (Art Hagen) very close friend. She is the one with the Light blue dress with the white belt in these pictures.
