Edward Brimie
May 24, 1905 — June 14, 2003
Edward Brimie was born on May 24, 1905, in Chicago, IL, the son of Elida and Paul Brimie. As a boy, he moved with his brother to live with an aunt at Overly, ND, where he grew up and received his education. Following his schooling, he returned to Chicago, where he lived for a short period of time before returning to Overly.
On Sept. 16, 1936, Edward was united in marriage to Ella Johnson, at Rolette, ND. Following their marriage, they lived at Rugby, ND, Fargo, ND and Valley City, ND, before returning to live in Fargo in 1953. Edward worked for Globe Clothing Co. in Fargo and for Straus Clothing. In 1957, Edward and Ella sublet the boys and young mens department of Straus, which they operated until they retired in 1972.
Following retirement, they continued to live in Fargo. They also owned a home in Mesa, AZ, where they spent their winters for a number of years.
Edward was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He truly enjoyed company, especially family visits. He enjoyed exercising, gardening, tinkering and remodeling around the home, well into his 90's. Edward was a devoted Christian and active church member.
Very recently, Edward became a resident of Elim Care Center in Fargo, where he died on Saturday, June 14, 2003, at the age of 98. He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, and two sisters.
Edward Brimie is survived by his wife of 66 years, Ella, Fargo; four daughters, Margaret "Peggie" (Bill) Omdalen, who lives on Loon Lake, near Vergas, MN, Loretta Rosenberg, Wahpeton, ND, Paulette Cox, Oxnard, CA, and Patricia Brimie, Monterey, CA; six grandsons, Scott (Sue) and Randy Omdalen, Chris (Angie), Eric (Julie), and Jason Rosenberg, and Jonathan Cox; three great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
