Ethel Catherine Dunn

July 1, 1916 — November 27, 2010

Ethel Catherine Dunn, 94, of Twin Falls, passed away November 27, 2010 at St. Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center in Twin Falls. She was born on July 1, 1916 and later adopted in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was raised as a single child in the family of Herbert E. and Lillian (Lanterman) Tedman. Ethel was most pleased to discover her birth Mother's maiden name (Eliese Oebser) in 1994. After a couple years of searching, she was excited to find that she had four half-sisters that were born to her birth mother after she subsequently married a gentleman from central Minnesota. Through repeated travels to Minnesota, she was able to meet three of the four women. They had many enjoyable story-telling hours together. Ethel was a quiet person who loved to read, write poetry, watch television and complete word-search and crossword puzzles. She loved to be part of family gatherings where she could listen to and chat with people. She was very proud of being part of the WW II support generation as a P-38 blue-print reader/assembler. Being a contributor to the WW II Memorial in Washington D.C. was a large part of her conversation over the past several years. Surviving are her children - Loren J. Randolph of Meridian, ID, Joseph E. Randolph of Olympia, WA, Frances E. Wedell of Cedar River, MI, Colin M. Randolph of Twin Falls, ID, Norris D. Randolph of Blackfoot, ID, along with six grandchildren - Sara Wilson, Scott Randolph, Allyson Randolph, Hale Powers Benton, Benjamin Benton and Mary Ann Wedell and five great-grandchildren. Additional survivors include her sisters - Isabel Knosalla of Staples, MN, Betty Dahlvang of Wadena, MN and Bethel Rogers of Oakdale, CA. She was preceded in death by her parents, two husbands - Robert Randolph in 1960 and Roy Dunn in 1969, and one sister - DeEtta Fisher. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Private family services will be held at Dry Creek Cemetery in Boise, Idaho. Services and arrangements are under the careful direction of Parke's Magic Valley Funeral Home of Twin Falls.
