Virginia (Gilbertson) Aschenbeck, 91 years old, residing at Edgewood Vista in Fargo North Dakota passed away on August 15th, 2020 surrounded by her children. She waited until her final child had arrived and was then peacefully taken so she could be with ‘Bud’, her first love. She was born on November 23rd, 1928 in Lamoure, North Dakota. Her parents were Charles Peterson and Ethyl Peterson (Feltis). Ginny graduated from high school in Lamoure, ND and from NDSU in Fargo with a Bachelor’s Degree. Ginny was married to Harry Curtis Gilbertson until his death on January 11th, 1966. She later married Elliot Runquist and subsequently Al Aschenbeck. She lived in Edina, MN with Harry until they moved to Jamestown, ND in 1963 where she resided until 1977. Ginny and Elliot moved to Perham, MN where she resided on and off until moving to Edgewood Vista in Fargo, ND. Ginny was a faithful Lutheran and has now joined her God and three husbands in heaven. She is survived by her 5 children, Harry Gilbertson (Jodi) Fargo, ND, Jann Vhugen (Darryl) Seattle, WA, Sue Gilbertson-Beadling (Kalamazoo, MI) , Mary Gilbertson-Lee (Scott) Rapid City, SD and Jim Gilbertson (Colleen) Gainesville, GA.

A private graveside service will be held in Highland Home Cemetery in Jamestown, ND where she will be buried in the family plot. Her children wish to thank the staff at Edgewood Vista for all they have done for our mom, and especially Florence and Bobby who went over and above and treated her like one of their family members. We also wish to thank Hospice of the Red River Valley for the care and advice they provided to our family during her final months with us. In lieu of flowers or gifts, Ginny would appreciate donations to https://annecarlsen.org/donate/. This charity was near to her heart when she lived in Jamestown.
