Gaylord O. Monson

Gaylord O. Monson, 83, of Fountain City, WI and formerly of Buffalo City, WI, surrounded by family; left this world to find eternal comfort and peace in Christ on Saturday, January 22, 2022.
Gaylord Orrin was born February 25, 1938, in Osseo, WI to Orville and Geneva (Anderson) Monson and grew up on the family farm. He graduated from Augusta High School, Augusta, WI and then served in the US Army, where he received his honorable discharge.
Working at Huebsch Laundry, he met the love of his life; Linda L. Burkart. They married on December 16, 1972. Together, they raised two daughters, Sheila and Stacey.
Gaylord worked for local agricultural cooperatives: Cenex/Alma Farmers Union, Alma WI until his retirement. He then returned to work for Garden Valley Coop, Alma WI and Ace Hardware, Mondovi WI; and finally, his girls were able to convince him to retire a second and final time at the age of 75. Gaylord never shied away from a hard day’s work and enjoyed helping others, being involved in the farming communities, and visiting with everyone.
He was a member of St. Michael’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Fountain City, WI.
As a young boy, he became a Chicago Cubs fan, listening to the games on WGN Radio. His love for the Cubs and the game became a family tradition, Gaylord also cheered on the Green Bay Packers and enjoyed looking for ginseng with his good friend, Dan.
Family was everything to Gaylord. His loving, gentle soul was a source of constant peace and stability to his family. He led by example and taught his daughters and grandchildren that love trumps all and everyone is deserving of respect and worthy of Christ’s love.
This stubborn old Norwegian was known for his infectious smile, one-liners and twinkling eyes. His presence in a room was always felt.
