Shirley M. Lunde (Molstead), age 85, of Maple Grove, passed away Jan 5, 2022. She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother– her spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew her.

I highly recommend the team at Evans Nordby. This past weekend, they assisted as we buried my mom. Twelve years ago, they assisted as we buried my dad. Brittney and the staff are so comforting, easy to work with and compassionate. They make every decision simple, and the whole process as painless as possible. I am so happy that we chose this funeral home, and encourage you to consider using them in your time of need.
