Obituary: Longie, Ursula Marie
She was preceded in death by her husband Wilbert, eldest son Wallace, and her great-granddaughter Faith.
She was the last survivor of 9 Dolan children.
Ursula is survived by her children: Marjorie, William, Ronald, Donald and Patricia as well as 16 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren and 14 great-great-grandchildren.
Ursula was born on October 21, 1919 in Devils Lake, ND.
At the age of 13 she attended Parochial school for her education.
She began her medical career as a surgical assistant under the direction of Doctor Lobe at San Haven Tuberculosis Center in Dunseith, ND.
In 1962 Ursula moved to Spokane, WA with her husband and family.
This is where she continued her medical career as a lab technician at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital until her retirement.
While she took great pride in her career, her life’s work was her children and her extended family.
As the matriarch of her family time and time again she displayed the true meaning of unconditional love for everyone that came into her life, no matter the circumstances.
She touched many lives.
Her home and loving arms were always open, at all times.
The family wishes to express appreciation and gratitude to Havenwood Caregiver Services, Providence Holy Family Hospital, and Royal Park Health and Rehabilitation for their caring and compassionate care towards our mother.
