Zelda Alvira (Grimm) Eiden, 79, passed away Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2005, after a short but courageous battle with cancer. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer 50 years ago and survived until the cancer recently reoccurred.
Zelda was born Nov. 1, 1925 in Verendrye, N.D., to Rudolph and Martha (Lade) Grimm. She was the youngest of six children.
She moved with her family to Velva, N.D., in 1945, where, in 1947, she married Francis Stuber. They had four children. They were later divorced.
Zelda moved to Bozeman in 1968. She was employed at the B&B Café, the Western Café, and at MSU. In 1974, she married Nels Eiden. He passed away in 1992.
She was later active in the Head Start program, foster grandparent program and with RSVP at the Senior Center in Bozeman.
Zelda's greatest joy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a loving and caring mother, not only to her children but to their friends as well, and was known as "mom" and "grandma" to many.
She had resided at the Legion Villa since 1982. She enjoyed playing dominoes with her many friends there, and being with her special friends, Jeannette and Marion.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Nels Eiden; one son, LaVern Stuber in 1989; and by four brothers.
Zelda is survived by daughters and sons-in-law, Allie and Ray Miller of Belgrade, Mimi and Larry Biladeau of Bozeman, Lanetta and Ray Roerick of Broadus; and one son and daughter-in-law, Dale and Linda Stuber of Spokane, Wash. She is also survived by her sister, Leona Melom of Minot, N.D.; sister-in-law, Helen Grimm of Fergus Falls, Minn.; uncle Reinhold Lade of Edmonds, Wash.; 18 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, seven special nieces and two special nephews.
