Susan Laurie (Runquist) Walz
GLENDIVE, Mont. Susan Lau-
rie (Runquist) Walz, 66, of Glendive,
Mont., and formerly of Beach,‘
passed away on Wednesday, Dec. 18,
2019, at her home.
A Life Tribute Service will be
held at 1 p.m., Friday, Dec. 27, at
Silha Funeral Home in Beach with
Celebrant Heidi Carney officiating.
Interment will be in St. John’s
Catholic Cemetery in Beach. Silha
Funeral Home of Beach has been en-
trusted with the arrangements.
Susan was born on April 27,
1953, in Jamestown to Eliot and
Marjorie (Shubert) Runquist. She
was raised and educated there, grad-
uating with the class of 1971. After
high school, Susan attended North
Dakota State College of Science in
Wahpeton, where she met her future
husband Daniel Walz.
Susan was united in marriage to
Dan on Nov. 24, 1973, in Beach, and
to this union five children were born.
They resided in Jamestown for a few
years, where Susan worked as a
CNA at the hospital before they
moved to Beach. She then continued
working as a CNA at the Beach hos—
pital until it closed. After that, Susan
then ran her own daycare for several
years before she went back to work
as a CNA at the Golden Valley
Manor in Beach and later at The Her-
itage in Glendive, until she retired in
April 2019.
Susan loved her work and was
born to be a caregiver. She enjoyed
visiting with anyone who was will-
ing. Above all else, she loved her
family and spending time with her
children and grandchildren. She will
be dearly missed by her family and
especially by her best friend and love
of her life, Dan.
Susan is preceded in death by her
parents, Eliot and Marjorie Runquist;
her daughter Katherine “Katie”
Walz; her brother John Runquist; her

on Wednesday, Dec. 18, in which
Josellin Lopez-Rodriguez, 37, of
Houston, Texas, was driving a 2005
Volvo, and was pulling a flatbed
trailer that was westbound. The
Volvo was in the outside lane of In-
terstate 94 at mile marker 172 and
was traveling under the posted speed
limit with its flashers on.
A 2017 Kenworth semi, driven by
Edwin Page, 63, of Bismarck, was
pulling a side dump trailer, and was
also heading westbound. Page struck
the rear end of the Volvo’s trailer
while attempting to avoid a rear-end
collision. The Kenworth entered the
median and overturned onto its top.

were staggered west of the initial
crash scene to move vehicles into the
outside lane.

the Highway Patrol.

A rough, wet, snowy, cold fall has
many cow—calf producers delaying
weaning until the end of this year.
Typically, calf weaning is com-
pleted in October or November for
April- or May—born calves.
"Depressed market prices haven't
offered enough incentive to sell
calves earlier," says Karl Hoppe, Ex-
tension livestock systems specialist
at North Dakota State University‘s
Carrington Research Extension Cen-
ter. "Now producers are considering
the options for this year's calf crop.
Questions are: Should we wean and
selllpff the cow? Or should we back—
groundthe calves?"
NDSU Extension has a series of
video presentations on backgounding
calves that may help producers an:
swer those questions. The videos are
available at
https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/livestock-
extension/backgrounding.
The video topics and presenters
are:
* Current cattle price situation
and outlook for backgrounding
