November 7, 1917 — July 1, 2007
Edna J. Mattson, 89, Aberdeen, SD, formerly of Moorhead, MN, died Sunday, July 1, 2007, in Bethesda Home, Aberdeen.
Edna "Edie" Jeanette Christiansen was born November 7, 1917, in Vining, MN, to Anton and Caroline Christiansen. She was raised in the Argusville, ND, area where she attended school.
On November 8, 1938, Edie married James O. Mattson in Sisseton, SD. They made their home in Fargo, ND. Edie worked as a housekeeper, for Kelly Services, and for American Crystal Sugar. Edie and James eventually moved to Moorhead. James died on September 9, 1981, and Edie continued to make her home in Moorhead until moving to Aberdeen in 2000.
