May 26, 1927 — April 18, 2021
Adeline "Pudge" Lerum, 93, of Seymour, passed away Sunday, April 18, 2021, at Good Shepherd Nursing Home.
She was born May 26, 1927, daughter of the late Alben and Irene (Schwandt) Thorson. Pudge graduated from Bonduel High School where she excelled in typing and shorthand. These skills proved useful for the many years she worked as a secretary.

Pudge was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, where she was a Sunday school teacher, Concordia member and served on various committees. In addition to church Pudge loved her family, gardening, bowling, (becoming a Grand Duchess at age 70), reading, traveling and sports. She served on the election board for the Town of Osborn for many years.
Survivors include her husband, Oliver Lerum; children: Robin (Jack Bothwell) Krohlow, Baileys Harbor, Susan (Gary) Stephani and their children, Michael and David, Los Angeles, Steven (special friend, Donna) Krohlow, Seymour. Her extended family: Judy (Stephen) Zillmer, Watertown, Randy (Kelly) Lerum, Seymour, Amy (Mike) Albrightson, Woodville; additional grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
