Eleanore Lois (Hiatt) Fauske, 97, went home to be with her Lord on Wednesday, October 21, 2020, in the Bottineau health care center. A private service for the immediate family only will be held.  Visitation will be on Monday, October 26, 2020 from 4:00 pm until 9:00 pm. Burial will follow at the Ackworth Cemetery in rural Dunseith, ND. A public Memorial Service is being planned to be held in the summer of 2021.

Eleanore "Stubby" was born on April 9, 1923, to John and Margaret (Randall) Hiatt on the family farm north of Dunseith. She grew up in the Turtle Mountains and attended the Ackworth School and graduated from Dunseith High School.

On October 31, 1942, she married Elwood Fauske in Bottineau, ND. After their marriage, they moved to Thompson, ND, where Elwood worked as a farm laborer. In 1946, they moved back to Dunseith and Elwood worked for the Rolette County Soil Conservation Service as a heavy equipment and caterpillar operator. Eleanore worked as a pastry chef at Dale's Café. They raised six children.

Eleanore always had a deep, personal faith in God and was an excellent example to her children. She and Elwood attended Grace Lutheran Church in Bottineau for many years where they enjoyed many Bible studies. She was a member of the Kelvin Homemakers and TOPS for many years. She was a 4-H leader and reached out to share the love of God with children. She loved to read, bake, garden and sew. She worked at and sold numerous embroidery items at the Front Porch on Cranberry Creek in Bottineau for many years. However, her favorite times were "family gatherings" and spending time with her children and grandchildren. They said she also knew how to yodel.

They purchased the Hiatt family farm in 1962 and had a diversified farm where Elwood raised beef cattle and small grains. Eleanore took a position with the U.S. Post Office in Dunseith and retired after 30 years. Elwood retired at the age of 80 and they moved to Bottineau in 2000. Elwood passed away in 2017.
