d. November 20, 2019
LeRoy Enevoldsen, 80, of Montevideo, died Wednesday, November 20th at the Clarkfield Care Center. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 pm Tuesday at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church of Baxter. Visitation will be held Monday evening from 5 to 7 pm at the Wing-Bain Funeral Home and continue one hour prior to services at the church on Tuesday.
LeRoy Russell Enevoldsen was born March 13, 1939, to Louis and Ruth (Olson) on the family farm in Lac qui Parle County. He was baptized and confirmed at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Montevideo. He attended District 15 Country School.
LeRoy started farming in 1955 with his father. On June 4, 1961 he married Lynnae Vold and this union was blessed with five children. At this time LeRoy began farming on his own. LeRoy was a man of many talents. He was one of the best welders around which neighbors would bring their equipment and projects for him to fix for them. He installed boxes, hoists and tags on farm trucks for neighbors and people from miles around. His love for tinkering with motors and fabricating lead him to build and compete in stock car and go cart races and tractor and pickup pulls where he brought home several 1st place trophies. LeRoy enjoyed going to gun shows and the many hunting trips to South Dakota and northern Minnesota with friends and neighbors. He had a special love for his dogs.
