Claudette Florene (Bounds) Greenwaldt was born to Claude and Florence (Thompson) Bounds in Wadena, MN, on October 20, 1936. The family moved to Verndale where she graduated from high school in 1955. Claudette met Eugene Greenwaldt at a dance at the River Inn in Aldrich and they were united in marriage on April 27, 1956, in Wadena. They had a double wedding with Claudette’s best friend, Bonnie Nelson, and Eugene’s cousin, Marvin Greenwaldt. They moved to Grand Forks where their son Jeff was born. The family moved to California where they had two daughters, Jane and DeAnna. Eleven years later they moved back to Minnesota. As a stay-at-home mother, Claudette enjoyed cooking, sewing, shopping, reading medical books, collecting cookbooks and baking treats. By 1977, she started working for Homecrest Ind in Wadena. She had various positions while employed at the furniture manufacturing plant; the last one being a strapper. She retired from Homecrest in 1998. Throughout her years, Claudette enjoyed visiting family and friends, music and dancing, playing cards, traveling, walks with her daughters, fishing with family, and baking treats for her grandkids. You could count on goodies in the freezer when you came to visit! She made the best pancakes, and you felt special when she made your favorite foods. At the age of 80, Claudette had a stroke and was no longer able to do all she had enjoyed over the years. She continued to enjoy eating out, car rides, visiting relatives and watching Judge Judy every day. She always had her cellphone, earrings and lipstick before leaving home! Preceding Claudette in death were her parents, Claude & Florence; son, Jeffrey; brothers: Darold, Willys and Wayne Bounds; granddaughter, Aleshia Greenwaldt; and parents-in-law, Harry & Ella Greenwaldt. For nearly 69 years, Gene was her devoted husband.
