Floraine Mildred Haroldson, age 88 of Amery, Wisconsin passed away on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 at the Amery Hospital and Clinic. Floraine was born on March 2, 1929 in Rochester, MN to Elmer and Blanche (Skifstad) Rude. In the late 1930's, the family moved back to their roots in Amery. They later moved to Superior, MN during the war, but returned back to Amery in 1945. Floraine's first job and paycheck in high school came from Lakeside Packing in Amery. She graduated from Amery High School in 1947 and then went on to graduate from St. Croix Normal Teachers College. Floraine taught in a one room school in Little Falls from 1949 to 1956 when she left teaching to raise her family. She returned back to work in the late 1980's at Fridays/Lakeside Packing in New Richmond, so she received her first paycheck and her last paycheck from Lakeside Packing, something she kind of got a kick out of! Floraine centered her life around Little Falls Lutheran and her church family. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Jack; daughter, Viann; granddaughter, Johnna and a brother, Wyman Rude. Floraine is survived by her son, Loren (Julie) Haroldson of Ellendale, MN; granddaughter, Hannah Haroldson of Ellendale; uncle, Stanley Skifstad of New Richmond; brother-in-law, Wayne Olson of Amery; sisters-in-law, Lenore Olson of Amery and Inez Rude of Brooklyn Park, MN as well as by numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Funeral services will take place at 11:00 am on Friday, January 5, 2018 at the Little Falls Lutheran Church in rural Amery, with a visitation the hour prior to the service at the church. Burial will take place at the Little Falls Lutheran Cemetery. Pallbearers are, Donald Olson, Keith Olson, Randy Rude, Harley Shafer and Galen Skifstad.
