Autumn Dacota Ireland Whitedress

Autumn Dacota Ireland Whitedress was born January 16, 1992 in Fargo, ND the daughter of Francis (Junior) Whitedress and Sandra Ireland Whitedress. The family moved around a lot and Autumn grew up in North Dakota and Wisconsin. Autumn most recently lived in Fargo, ND where she passed away in Sanford Medical Center on Friday, September 9, 2022. She passed away surrounded by love.

Autumn grew up with 3 older brothers so she always had to be tough. She was tough and very “sassy” from the get-go. Her grandma, Gwen, tells a story about her yelling at a boy, to “get off MY sidewalk fat boy”! Autumn had a hard life and it took that tough attitude and grit to help her survive some of the things that she survived.

They say that some of us are placed on earth to make a difference and others make a difference by the people they bring into the world. Although she wasn’t raising them herself, Autumn’s pride and joy were her 3 girls. The most selfless thing she did was to choose to let family member’s raise her girl’s so their lives could be easier than hers. Autumn loved getting pictures of the girls, and seeing them when she could. We will make sure that they each know how loved they are every day.

Autumn is survived by her 3 daughters, her husband Conrad, and his family, brothers; Michael, Trevor, and Francis (Yamni), Grandma Gwen, and family.
Waiting to lead her into heaven were her parents, grandpa Larry, and loved ones that passed before her.

A celebration of life will be held Sunday, September 18, 2022 at 2:00 in Chautauqua Park, in Valley City, ND.
